Drupal 7 Extended Support or Drupal 10 Migration? Weighing Your Options
The Drupal Association blog features a post by dropsolid_admin examining whether organisations still on Drupal 7 (D7) should opt for Extended Support or begin migrating to Drupal 10 (D10). With D7's official end-of-life, this decision hinges on factors like timeline, budget, and long-term digital strategy.
Extended Support offers temporary relief, keeping D7 sites secure while giving teams more time to plan a transition. However, it delays access to modern features and may involve increasing costs. On the other hand, migrating to D10 ensures a future-ready platform with better performance, improved user experience, and lower long-term maintenance, though it requires upfront investment and planning.
The post highlights how Dropsolid supports both paths. As one of only three global partners in the official D7 EOL program—and the only one in Europe—they offer security updates for D7 while also helping clients plan and execute tailored D10 migration strategies. Readers are encouraged to assess readiness based on project complexity, business goals, and resource availability.
