Four Types of Windows 7 Deployment Scenarios:
Upgrade Computer Scenario
In this you can upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 , this means that your applications, files and settings as they were in your previous version of Windows Vista by upgrading to Windows 7. You will need to use the Refresh Computer scenario if you want to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. But this will preserve only files and settings but not applications.
Although upgrading to Windows 7 might be the easiest way to deploy Windows 7, you run the risk of preserving misconfiguration and unauthorized software or settings. In most of the cases, change-control processes are more difficult to implement and the existing system configuration is difficult to evaluate. The computer's state is still unknown if you upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 because it does not change the computer’s status. New Computer scenario is a better scenario for managed environments with user state migration to preserve settings selectively.
New Computer Scenario
You install a clean copy of Windows 7 on a new or clean hard drive in the New Computer scenario. New Computer scenario has the most similar results, creating a configuration in a known state. You can use established change-control processes to manage any subsequent changes closely. Installing a known configuration on a clean computer is the foundation of good configuration management.
Refresh Computer Scenario
This scenario is similar to the New Computer scenario. The only difference is that this scenario preserves user's existing files and settings and the destination computer contains a Windows operating system. To migrate user's files and settings from the previous version of Windows to Windows 7, you can use migration technologies, such as USMT 4 0. By doing this no data is lost while still installing the best possible system configuration. New Computer scenario provides with the benefits of preserving files and settings and the Refresh Computer scenario combines the benefits of a new installation.
Replace Computer Scenario
You can migrate between an old computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista
and a new computer running Windows 7 using Windows migration technologies such as the Windows Easy Transfer tool and USMT 4 0. The Replace Computer scenario allows you to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 on the new computer and also allows you to simply migrate files and settings from the old computer.

If your fathers have told you that your mothers are bad or don't love you any more, DON'T believe them. Your mothers love you more than anything in the world and want you to be safe with them.
