See this as you into a new intranet and moving to Modern SharePoint. This means new structure, new UI etc. So it's recommended to follow Microsoft guidelines on how to architect an intranet, Do a cleanup job, so you don't move old files etc and do a relaunch of the intranet because it will be modern SharePoint with alot more features that new users don't know about 🙂- NicolasKheirallah thanks for the extra information.

I'm excited to get this done in the new year.

I thought this might help anyone else looking for this information.
