Move SharePoint 2010 list to SharePoint 2013

No code - quick and easy way to move SharePoint 2010 list to SharePoint 2013 or Office 365


In the following, I 'll show how to move SharePoint 2010 list to Office 365. First, I'll save the list as template with content, and then I'll use that template to create new list on my Office 365 tenant that runs on SharePoint 2013.

This approach also worked for moving list from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010. When saving a list as template, list content, list columns, and list views are also saved, when you select "Include content".

If you have many lists, you can do code that iterates through all lists and saves them as template.

How it works
1. Go to your list in SharePoint 2010
2. Click on "List Settings" in the Ribbon



3. Click on "Save list as template"



4. Write the name of the file and template
5. Select "Include Content"
6. Click on "OK"


7. Click on "list template gallery"



8. Click on "Download a Copy"




9. Open your SharePoint 2013 site
10. Click on "List templates"



11. Click on "Upload Document"



12. Go to "Site Contents" and click on "add an app"
13. Select your list template



That's it. You are good to go :-)
