Magento 2 is based on a better code that makes Magento 2 easier and more flexible to use. Besides, It also supports efficient APIs, theming capabilities, and turnkey extensions. As you are probably aware of, Magento 2 will come with a brand-new architecture and database design. To ease up the upgrade process, Magento released an official Data Migration Tool that will help developers migrate store data from Magento 1 to Magento 2.

Data Migration Tool transfers data from M1 database to M2 database based on set of rules defined in xml files. To be clear, this tool only transfers data. Themes and customizations of your store can’t be automatically changed or migrated to Magento2. Migration tool migrate can migrate all settings, products, categories, orders, customers, product review and linked-product relations (cross sell, related products) etc. Basically it migrate everything. If you have multiple stores, It can migrate all stores and linked data with all stores. You can delete/filter migrated data on Magento2 store.

It is highly recommended to create a backup of the Magento 1 database and to truncate all the log tables before upgrading the website.
