1. Unisoft Inc. wants to upgrade the OS of all Windows 7-based desktops in the Accounts department to Windows 8. The organization does not want to reinstall the existing applications on the system. In addition, the organization does not have extra storage space to save the existing data of systems. Identify and explain the installation or migration scenario in the preceding situation. In addition, list and explain the other migration scenarios.

 The deployment scenario in this case is in-place deployment scenario. The need for an in-place desktop deployment arises when an organization decides to upgrade the operating system and applications on its existing desktops. In this process, the previous desktop is either upgraded or redeployed. Therefore, you need to preserve the existing user state before deploying the new OS so that the user obtains the same user state on the new OS. This will ensure that the user productivity is not hampered because of a change in the desktop, and no time is lost to adapt to the change. In addition, it ensures that in case the deployment process fails, the user data and settings can be restored easily on the desktop.

The other deployment scenarios are:

·         Wipe and load

·         Side-by-side
