Windows 10: In-place Upgrade vs Win10Upgrade9252.exe

Could anyone kindly explain the difference between using the In-place Upgrade that was explained by Shawn here:
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade


and the Windows 10 October 2020 Update, seen here:

That downloads Windows10Upgrade9252.exe, seen here:

That finally installs Windows 10 Update Assistant shortcut and a 7.82GB Windows 10 Upgrade Folder to the Desktop, seen here:

In-place upgrade - XP to 10 without losing the apps

Wolfgang, you need at least two steps (Vista & Seven) between XP and 10, the Eight can be bypassed:

• XP can only be in-place upgraded to Vista, not Seven or later
• Vista can be in-place upgraded to Seven but not Eight or later
• Seven can be in-place upgraded to 10
• Ergo: XP to Vista is a must, as well as Vista to Seven but then you can bypass the Eight and jump to 10

Don't worry, you'll have an option to keep your files when you do an in-place upgrade.
