Technical Documentation for Exchange 2010 to Exchange Online Migration using Quest

You can follow Microsoft’s standard cutover or hybrid migration documentation for moving from Exchange 2010 to Exchange Online, but I agree the guidance can feel scattered—especially since Exchange 2010 is long past support.

A good starting point is Microsoft’s docs for Exchange 2010 hybrid requirements and the steps for a cutover migration (since 2010 doesn’t support Modern Hybrid without upgrades). These cover prerequisites, mailbox prep, directory sync, and the actual data migration process.

If you’re open to using third-party tools, you can also look at EdbMails Exchange Migration. It supports direct migrations from Exchange 2010 to Exchange Online without needing a hybrid configuration, and can handle throttling, incremental sync, etc. It can be useful if you want to avoid the overhead of setting up a hybrid server just for a one-time move.

But if you prefer the Microsoft path only, the cutover migration guide is usually the simplest approach for Exchange 2010.

Hope this helps!
