STEP 1 Unzipping the initial project

Problem: Getting the Initial Source Code

To begin the upgrading process, we need to obtain the source code of the selected legacy application. Follow the steps below to download and unzip the source code:

1. Visit the webpage of our selected legacy application.
2. On the webpage, locate the option to download the source code in ZIP format. It is usually available as a download link or button.
3. Click on the download link to initiate the download process.
4. Once the ZIP file is downloaded, navigate to the location where it was saved on your computer.
5. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a desired directory on your disk.

Note: At this stage, the program will not compile, so there is no executable (EXE) file available yet.

Now that you have the initial source code of the legacy application, we can proceed with the upgrading process.
