Hello guys, i need your help !
I have migrated an old MOSS 2007 sharepoint to sharepoint online office 365 with sharegate tool last year.
I have discovered that when I create a new site or sub site, no problem i have the new modern page.
The problem is on the existing site and the subsite, when i modify the root page for example its still an old web page. if i create a new page, it creates an old page too
How can I convert thses old page to new ?

@Hervé Dohercomprehensive guidance on how to transform from classic to modern can be found in the articles under below URL:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-classic-sites
For pages the following article provides a detailed description of the possibilities:

Especially the PnP modernization framework might be interesting for you to have a look at:

Hope this helps!

My actual home page is in this librairy : "page"
What I have when i set a modern page as default home page for root site ( stored in page site librairy )
The specified homepage is incorrect. (This site uses managed browsing, so should the homepage be a publication page belonging to the same site.

You didnt understant i can create modern page so the feature is actvive @Juan Carlos González Martín
The problem is i cant set a modern page as default root page.
Watch the screen shoot i put in the post before.
this is the error I have when i want to change the home page :
The specified homepage is incorrect. (This site uses managed browsing, so should the homepage be a publication page belonging to the same site.

Apparently your site uses Managed Navigation which requires the homepage of your site to be a Publishing Page as the error message states. You could try to disable Managed Navigation (under Site Settings - Navigation) and retry setting the home page. You then have to reconsider your navigation options.

No way if i change to structural navigation, it will be a disaster for performance in sharepoint online.
I was in this mode before - just after the migration ) and sharepoint makes more than 7 seconds to charge a web page ! performance are very very bad ...

I have made some test :
create a new site collection => the default web page is in "page site" librairy
create a new page ( modern ) saved in the same librairy => right clic set as default home page
It works without any problem with managed navigation
in my actual collection site, the default web page is not in "page site" librairy but " page" librairy.
And its impossible to change it.

Finally my expert for sharepoint found the solution !
Its was here :
_layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx
then "open the tool term" in the middle of the page
In taxonomy sharepoint term => deploy collection site then on the root site, second tab navigation
modify the URL by the new modern page !
