Win10 serial is stored in bios. During install just ignore requests to enter Win10 serial number. gb. YSSY.

Apparently it is best to remove it via the Wndows Disk Cleanup utility. Click the "Clean up System Files" button on the third window that comes up and check the 'Previous Windows installation" box before running. https://www.cnet.com/au/how-to/how-to-delete-the-windows-old-folder-from-windows-10/ gb.

June 8, 20187 yr Yup, can be deleted! It is a law of the Universe stating that the more hard drive space you have, the more you fill it with 'just in case I will use it' stuff! Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
May 27, 20197 yr My bits on Win10: after long hesitation, I upgraded last week from Win7 Pro 64bit to Win10 Pro 64bit. I had to do that because I will buy a new VR set which needs Win10. Long story short: downloaded Microsoft media creation tool, ran it as administrator, completed upgrade via internet after 1 hour. To my surprise, Win10 automatically activated (anyway, I have a license). After some days, I was sure that I did not want to return to Win7 and let control panel clean out the old stuff. To my delight, my SSD is now 20Gb lighter compared to Win7. Only obstacle: when I tested the Majestic Dash 8, P3D either crashed or the airplane behaved totally crazy with flickering displays. I did an un-install / re-install and found that DirectX9 was installed, too. Now, the Dash 8 is back to the hangar. I conclude that the Win10 upgrade process deleted DirectX9 - do not forget.

July 16, 20196 yr I've got an HP workstation that has a separate HP partition (called drive E) for Win 7 Pro on my OS duel drive RAID setup. What's the best way to deal with that?
