Support was supposed to be officially discontinued for Magento 1 on 18th November 2018. Later on, such claims were dismissed by Magento. With a user-friendly checkout method, improved indexers and database optimizations, Magento 2 handsomely outclasses its predecessor. Magento will end support for Magento 1 on June 2020, which is all the more reason for clients to move over to Magento 2.

7. PREPARATORY PHASE: STEPS BEFORE JUMPING IN
• Back-Up Magento 1 Store Data - files, folders, and the database.
• Migrate from the clone of Magento 1 store – never from the live store
• Declutter your store and keep the rest for migration
• Check whether your current theme(s), extensions and custom code are
compatible with the Magento 2.
• Migrate the data from the cloned database of your Magento 1 store.
• Remove outdated data – logs, recently viewed products, compare products.
• Install a fresh copy of Magento 2 on the same hosting server as your Magento 1
store.
• Make sure SEO and other store traffic are streamlined pre-migration.
Before starting the actual migration process, consider the following
recommendations:

11. FINAL VERDICT
Once all Magento migration processes are successfully
over, do not forget to test the Magento 2 store
thoroughly to ensure that everything functions properly.
The entire process of migration is not fully automated
yet. Plentiful manual work is needed to complete the
process successfully. However, with a user-friendly
checkout method, improved indexers and database
optimizations, and support coming to a close soon, it
has never been more crucial to switch to the all new
Magento 2.
