Answers.Text: I don't have any other content in D7. I would prefer the easiest option. Would standalone be the best solution? My provider offers Wordpress along Joomla and Drupal. I would love to use standalone.

Answers.Text: In that case, Standalone would work for you.  Standalone support is listed as 'beta' in the current [5.80](https://civicrm.org/blog/dev-team/civicrm-580-release).

If you don't have content to consider then you can just as easily upgrade to WordPress, Backdrop or Standalone - you don't have to continue with Drupal.
