During a Windows upgrade project, you need to install the newer version of the operating system on top of the existing version so that user documents, installed applications, and personalized settings remain intact. Which type of installation should you choose?
Image deployment
Repair installation
In-place upgrade
Clean installation
An in-place upgrade installs the new version of Windows over the existing installation while preserving user files, installed applications, and system settings. A clean installation wipes the drive and starts fresh, image deployment applies a pre-configured image that overwrites the current OS, and a repair installation attempts to fix an existing Windows instance without upgrading it to a new version.
Microsoft documentation states that "the newer version of Windows can be installed while retaining applications, files, and settings" when performing an upgrade in place (Windows upgrade and migration considerations, Microsoft Learn).
