Dear Anonymous_818,
Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.
Yes, you will need to have a Microsoft business account first before you can transfer your data from GoDaddy to Microsoft. Once you have a Microsoft account, you can then proceed with the migration process.
To transfer your files, emails, and data from GoDaddy to Microsoft, you can use the Data Migration Service (DMS) provided by Microsoft. This service allows you to migrate your data from various sources, including GoDaddy, to Microsoft 365.
To get started with the migration process, you can follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account.
2. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
3. Click on "Setup" and then select "Migration and imports".
.
4. Choose the type of migration you want to perform (in this case, GoDaddy to Microsoft).
5. Follow the prompts to enter your GoDaddy account information and select the data you want to migrate.
6. Start the migration process and wait for it to complete.
Once the migration is complete, you can then delete your GoDaddy account.
At the same time, if you need more assistance during the migration, you may contact the Microsoft support team by going to Office 365 Admin Center-> Support-> New Service Request. You can refer to this article to check the way how to raise a ticket: Ways to contact support for business products - Admin help. The engineers in related team have higher permission and resources than us to help with the process using remote sessions and make your work easier.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Sherry | Microsoft Community Moderator
