You have a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 server farm.
You plan to perform the following tasks:
Upgrade the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 farm to Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010.
Upgrade SharePoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Server 2010.
Upgrade SharePoint Server 2010 to SharePoint Server 2013.
You need to recommend an upgrade method for each task. The solution must use in-place upgrades,
whenever possible.

Explanation:
With SharePoint 2010, you could do an in-place upgrade from SharePoint 2007 – meaning that you could install
SharePoint 2010 on the same server as SharePoint 2007. SharePoint 2013 doesn’t support in-place upgrades,
which means that you have to install SharePoint 2013 on a different server from the one on which SharePoint
2010 is installed. For some organizations, this presents additional costs, but some benefits have been gained
as well. This was done to separate the process of upgrading the software and databases with the process of
upgrading the site collections.
* When you run an in-place upgrade from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation 2010, the configuration data for the farm and all the content in the farm is upgraded on the existing
hardware, in a fixed order.
* If you are running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and have decided that you need the functionality of
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, you can upgrade from SharePoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Server
2010. You can upgrade by using either the in-place or database attach upgrade approaches.
* When you upgrade from SharePoint 2010 Products to SharePoint 2013, you must use a database attach
upgrade, which means that you upgrade only the content for your environment and not the configuration
settings.
