Our main Team Site is in the Classic Experience. What is the easiest way to make everything Modern Experience without compromising our files? Or is it easier to start from scratch with a Modern Site?
Thank you!!

For a Team Site you are in luck, as you have some options.
Before deciding on "modernizing" (i.e., groupifying) your existing site, I would consider how much content you have there (docs, pages, list items) and how complex is the architecture (i.e., custom columns, content types). If it's not overly complex, you will likely find it simpler and less risky to simply create a new modern site and move things over gradually.

@pmcgrath I was suggesting creating a net new Team Site, which should default now to the Modern Experience. You can choose to attach the Site to a team if you like, or start it off as a stand-alone site.

Thank you again for your response.
One last question, if Microsoft decides to twilight SharePoint Classic Experience would our current tenant be safe or would we need to migrate to a new tenant? Meaning, would our current tenant be unsupported and eventually removed.
This would influence our decision greatly and we cannot find any information on this.
Thank you.
