I have a Drupal 6 site that I want to upgrade to Drupal 7.

I use core profile fields instead of profile nodes.

I know that in D6 you have the module "content profile", and in D7 you have "Profile2".

After a lot of research I´ve come to the conclusion that there´s no nice, safe way to upgrade core profile fields from D6 to Profile2 in D7.

So, before upgrading my site to D7, I´ve took the time to migrate core profile fields to Profile nodes (using the module "content migrate").

Now, I´m in Drupal 7, and I just don´t understand how to get Profile2 to work. I´ve read profile2 documentation to know if I should migrate my content or something.

I have one profile type (using Profile2) called profile (is the "main", Í´ve just changed it the name). I can get to there from this link: mysite/admin/structure/profiles/manage/profile/fields

Now, I have my profile content from my profile nodes that I´ve got from D6. I get to them from this link: mysite/admin/structure/types/manage/profile/display This url show that this profile is treated as a normal content type. All former core profile fields are there, but how do I manage to get those into the Profile2 node?

Is there a need to do a "migration"? If it is... why? Isn´t all nodes?

Thanks for your help, I´m very much confused!
