Performing an in-place upgrade

In this section, we will look at the in-place upgrade method. An in-place upgrade is also known as an upgrade. For example, you may have several Windows 7 desktops or laptops and you want to upgrade these desktop machines to Windows 10.

During an in-place upgrade, all user applications, hardware device settings, data, files, and other configuration information are retained. An in-place upgrade consists of four phases that occur throughout the upgrade process:

  1. System check
  2. Installing Windows 10 with Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE)
  3. First startup
  4. Installing the OS and a second startup

    Important Note

    During the upgrade installation, you can rollback in any of these four phases. However, always back up any important data before doing the upgrade.
