May I just add on the subject of the 'wndows.old' folder; if you had already backed up your previous install (to Removeable Disk, or separate drive) and especially if you have used a 'dual-boot' configuration, you can 'delete' the windows.old folder and recover 20Gb of space.
Useful if you wish to make use of the space for other files![]()
Indeed, very true, and also useful if you want to copy your Windows on the same harddrive when normally some windows files are write or copy protected.
Anyways, also I need to correct Microsoft ONCE AGAIN!
Installation of Windows 7 doesn't require 16gb, but less than 9gb actually!
That's almost half of what they say we'll need as MINIMUM. Total non-sense!
Don't believe everything that your read, but keep an open mind though!
