Explanation

To replace software, the technician must first uninstall the existing open-source application and then install the new commercial one. 'Programs' (Programs and Features in Control Panel, or Apps in modern Windows Settings) is the correct tool for uninstalling software in Windows. It lists all installed applications and provides an uninstall option. Once the old package is removed, the new commercial software can be installed. Regedit (B) edits the Windows Registry directly and is not used for software installation/removal. Task Manager (C) manages running processes and performance but does not install or remove software. MSConfig (D) manages startup programs and boot configuration, not software packages.
