Note you may have to change the table prefix in wp_config.php yourself but that's no great problem. Great plugin, thank you.

I tried on WP Version 5.8. When it finished I had a fresh install of WP. All my content was gone. (I did back up my site so was able to restore it with no problem). Not sure if I did something wrong. ....Just make sure to back up your site before trying.
