Skype for Business Server 2015 provide In-Place upgrade option which can be relevant for Lync Server 2013 customers. Microsoft didn’t make any changes in hardware profile for Skype for Business Server 2015, therefore customer can adopt SfB easily to get the latest enhancements. In this post, I will cover step by step in-place upgrade for SfB standard edition. In my setup, I have one Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition with Mediation server collocated and one SQL server for Archiving and Monitoring databases.
In-place upgrade is available in two mode:
1. Migrate user mode (No user downtime)
2. Offline-mode (User downtime)

In this post, I am using offline-mode as I have one Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition pool.
I will start first thing first:
1. Must update your operating system with latest updates.
