SharePoint online, subsite as main

A client is using SharePoint online for quite some time but as has an on prem SharePoint server. We're going to migrate the last site from on prem to online.

They have a pretty simple "intranet" site. Clients wants this migrated as is. To mimic the intranet we made a new site with two subsites. The subsites in classic mode is just what we need, so that's covered.

Now we only need one of the subsites to be the default site for this site.

Is this possible and if so..how?

No, it doesn’t work that way. The site collection root is the default site of the collection. If the sub site needs to be the default site, it needs to be moved as it’s own site collection.

Thnx,

i'll try this.

Can it be moved within the site collection or does it need to be a new site collection?

Do you have a migration tool?

For data we do. For custom pages and design we don't
