However, there will be an up-gradation of this platform in June 2020 hence this year can be called as the Year of migration of Magento 1 to Magento 2. Also, Magento 1 will no longer be supported, people. Hence it is evident rather necessary that the merchants migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2.
As it is they say change is the only constant and being in the generation of online shopping, there will always be an upgradation coming up on regular basis as far as the online shopping platforms are concerned. The upgradation of Magento 1 to Magento 2 is one of such important kind of up-gradation.
The most important reason for migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is that Magento 1 software would no longer be supported starting from June 2020. Hence in case of any issues in the software, it would be very difficult to get help in resolving issues in the software.
Also, some of the benefits of Magento 2.0 up-gradation are:
• Since it is the latest or advanced version of Magento 1, it has many additional features and the performance of the new version Magento 2 will be much better than it older version Magento 1.

For Migration there are few software requirements before the migration as follows:

• MySQL version 5.6 and 5.7 or MariaDB version 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2 or Percona 5.7 is required.
• Any of the below PHP extensions: PDO/MySQL , bc-math, libxml, ctype, hash, openssl, SimpleXML, curl, dom, gd, , xsl, zip, json, intl, mbstring, mcrypt, , soap, spl,iconv.
As far as the hardware requirements are concerned one needs a minimum RAM of 2GB and a system with Solid State Drive, 24 GB than can improve Magento 2 speed.
Also, the Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration can be a very tedious process. The up-gradation can be time-consuming as it may include problems that would be difficult to manage. Hence, for the overall migration process, a professional service provider can be of immense help. Given that there are many such professional service providers in India, it shouldn’t be difficult for one to opt for.
Hence, it is evident that the Magento 2 up-gradation is unavoidable and hence it is necessary to upgrade your Magento 1 to Magento 2 to stay ahead in the race. Considering the above mentioned benefits of Magento 2, it looks like a requirement as well.
