Explanation
An in-place upgrade installs the new version of Windows on top of the existing installation, preserving user files, settings, and installed applications. A clean install wipes the drive and starts fresh. An unattended install automates the process but does not guarantee preservation of existing settings. A repair install fixes corrupted system files but is not designed for OS version upgrades. Only an in-place upgrade meets both requirements: no lost settings and no need to reinstall programs.
