Adds a new article, Replace an existing installer-based app with MSIX, under Manage your MSIX deployment.

Addresses a partner (Lenovo/AppConsult) request for guidance on the best way to replace an existing .exe/.msi/ClickOnce install with the MSIX version across deployment technologies. The article explains that MSIX installs side by side with the unpackaged app (separate package identity, no in-place upgrade), documents the two recommended ways to remove the previous version (app-driven uninstall and management-tool uninstall), and points to the deployment-technology options. Wired into toc.yml and linked from the deployment overview and Know your installer pages.

Resolves AB#25952048
