Upgrading Drupal

I want to upgrade my D7.61 site to D8.6.4.

I got the error "The filefield plugin must define the source_module property."

I don't have a filefield plugin. I have nothing like that in my sql database. I don't know to what it is related and then can't find a start to solve the issue.

Any idea?

composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies

*****************************
After running composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies, if you got the following error

Package "drupal/core" listed for update is not installed. Ignoring.

make sure that the require section of your composer.json contains

"drupal/core": "~8.2"    !!!! # put de correct current version #

and is not included in the replace section

********************

DO

=> in composer.json

Hi there after my first attempt about a year ago to upgrade my drupal website in d7 to d8 (local for testing purpose) I tried it again today with a better result then a year ago. looks promissing.

I have to add or change some modules/fields which I use on the D7 version, and I think the result should deliver me a 80% upgrade for all nodes.

But now my question: After the Upgrade there was not any view from the D7 imported, I know the views are now part of the core, but does that mean I have to rebuild al views by Hand ? 

When trying to update from drupal 8.6.2 to 8.6.4, I get no result. I tried composer update drupal/core webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies --dry-runto no avail. composer prohibits drupal/core:8.6.4gives me

webflo/drupal-core-require-dev  8.6.2  requires  drupal/core (8.6.2)

and composer prohibits webflo/drupal-core-require-dev:8.6.4gives me

Our website host has taken down our site, cit8ng unusual files. I’m not a techie at all, but am unsure if these are false positives or not. I desperately need help to identify if the files listed are indeed an issue, then how to remove them, and updatebour drupal site, as it’s way out of date for updates.

I am no techie, just a writer, and in need of some knowledgeable help 🙏

Good day!

I recently had a developer create a site for my new company, it is fairly complex and required some customization.  I just received an invoice ($5k) for the 2019 Drupal Updates.  Now, I am a complete neophyte with Drupal but have a Comp Sci degree, over 20 yrs in the IT world including various other web dev platforms and feel I can navigate most things.  Is there actually a requirement to pay for Drupal updates?  Could I note do this myself?  I'd sure appreciate some advice and input.
