I have a little problem.
If I install windows 10 and not choose to wipe my drive,will it put everything in my D drive in my C drive Windows.old folder?
 


Solution
it will try to install to c drive by default... making the old Windows folder to store the old copy and will not touch your D drive unless you actually tell it to install to that instead

however, if you have both an old spinning rust drive and a ssd it will default to the older drive [ignores the ssd] and make that the new C drive... if you want to install to a newer drive type then temp remove the other drives [unplug them] until after the install so Windows defaults to whatever is remaining
