Explanation
An in-place upgrade installs a newer version of the OS on top of the existing installation, bringing new features and functionality (e.g., upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11) while preserving the user's files, settings, and applications. A clean install wipes everything and provides new features but does NOT maintain user settings. A repair installation fixes corrupted system files but does not introduce new OS-level features. A restore rolls the system back to a prior snapshot, which removes changes rather than adding features. In-place upgrade is the only option that satisfies both conditions: new features AND preserved user settings.
