About this tag
The custom upgrade tag covers discussions about upgrading Windows from an older version (e.g., Vista to Windows 7) using a custom installation method that preserves files in a windows.old folder. In the tagged thread, a user performed a custom upgrade on a Sony Vaio laptop, which later led to a non-functional built-in keyboard. Troubleshooting steps included checking Device Manager, reinstalling drivers, and noting that Windows recognized the keyboard as a PS/2 device. The user also deleted the windows.old folder, which may have affected system recovery options. This tag is relevant for users considering or troubleshooting issues after a custom Windows upgrade.
