Convert MXD to APRX

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert MXD to APRX?
Yes - MXD converts to APRX.

The key modernization path: import the .mxd into an ArcGIS Pro project (.aprx) via Insert > Import Map. It's not a direct binary converter - Pro reads the .mxd and recreates the map in its own project format. Do this before ArcMap end of support (March 2026).
