While migrating the account from personal to Organization , there will be a data loss. The repositories will be lost. So best practice is to create a new Organization in the personal account and transfer the repositories into the repositories. Steps to create organization: 1.Go to settings.

2. Create new Organization.
3. Fill up the details and create.

Transferring repository to Organization:

1. Go to settings in the Repository and scroll down, you will find transfer option.
2. Click on the transfer and fill the details.

@SNA2609: When there is a convert, there is no lost of public repositories. Only private repositories if it is not transfered before in another place.
