Just like the term says, you do the upgrade on the same machine. The process would be mount the iso, run the installer and the old version gets upgraded to the new version.

The alternate of inplace upgrade would be migration: move it to another machine or a fresh install.

What Girish said is correct.  An in place upgrade is usually much much easier than doing a fresh install and migrating.  So, I would suggest doing an in place if you can and are comfortable with the stability of the current environment
