Migrate Site Collections to SP 2013 Deferred Site Collection Upgrade Faster upgrade approach It is the replacement of Visual Upgrade feature Visual upgrade preserves old master pages, CSS and HTML files only where deferred site collection upgrade preserves many things, even Features. This upgrade allows you to use previous version of SharePoint UI seamlessly. Main difference Site Collection (SPSite) UI will be upgraded granularly instead of Site (SPWeb). Once the site collection is upgraded then it cannot be rolled back.
