Alright, Drupal, my first CMS love, we've been through thick and thin. It's time to give you another shot. Can a solo developer like me still create impressive modern websites with Drupal? Maybe, starting with straightforward D10 install and a content copy-paste from the old site? Sounds workable, but…what about the complex entity references, taxonomies, and custom Webforms? I considered using Feeds for a csv export - it worked well in the past for D7. But when I tried Feeds export/import with D10, it was a bit of a hassle, hardly better than a simple copy-paste. So, I decided to dive into the world of migration.

I immersed myself in [every resource published](https://udrupal.com/talks) by [Mauricio Dinarte (dinarcon)](https://www.drupal.org/u/dinarcon). After an intense 100-hour learning spree, I managed to migrate about 65% of the Drupal 7 site to Drupal 10, using tools like [migmag](https://www.drupal.org/project/migmag), [migrate_plus](https://www.drupal.org/project/migrate_plus), and [webform_migrate](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_migrate). It wasn't smooth sailing, though - with several parts not working right, I wondered if starting over on a clean Drupal 10 install would've actually been easier. But with a few months left until the promised delivery date, I decided to hold off and weigh my options, possibly starting afresh with a different Low Code/No Code solution?

Six weeks later, [Acquia Migrate: Accelerate](https://www.drupal.org/project/acquia_migrate) was released, and I thought to myself “*what is this new devilry?*”. Could AM:A be as good as it appeared, or would it be more hours wasted? I decided to give it a single afternoon to prove it’s worth, and it did.
