in a different way vs a different way

Both 'in a different way' and 'a different way' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'In a different way' is used when you want to specify that something is done differently from a particular perspective or method. 'A different way' is more general and can be used to indicate that something is done in a way that is not the same as before or as expected.
