Explanation
An unattended installation uses a pre-configured answer file (e.g., unattend.xml) that automates all the prompts and settings during installation, requiring no manual input from the technician. This is ideal when deploying to multiple machines quickly, as the same script can be reused. Since the technician is not concerned with retaining user settings, there is no need for an in-place upgrade (which preserves apps and data). A clean installation would work but still requires manual interaction at each step. A remote network installation is useful for large-scale deployments but is more complex to set up. Unattended installation best balances speed and automation for just two machines.
