Explanation

A repair installation (also called an in-place upgrade or repair upgrade) reinstalls or repairs the OS files while preserving the user's data, settings, and installed applications. A clean installation wipes the drive and removes all data. Image deployment replaces the entire system with a pre-built image, also destroying user data. Quick formatting erases the filesystem and removes all data. Only a repair installation targets OS file corruption without data loss.
