Introduction
The decision to upgrade or migrate from a previous Windows version can involve several factors. You must also decide how to do the upgrade or migration. Many parameters can contribute to the upgrade decision. However, the goal is always the same at the end of the process. You want to have your computer running the newest operating system while keeping settings or data in the Windows operating system before installing the upgrade.
