An in-place upgrade allows users to retain their existing applications, settings, and files without needing to reinstall everything from scratch. This method is particularly beneficial for users who wish to update their operating system while maintaining continuity in their work environment.
Other options, such as a clean install, would erase existing data, necessitating backups and reinstallations, which is not required in an in-place upgrade scenario.
