    For some very odd reason I noticed Windows.old, Windows.old.000 and Windows.old.001 on my latest build. 10074 was my attempt to do a clean install, not sure why 3 previous versions were there??

    You still didn't do completely new installation, you know, the one with formatting OS drive first. No problem though, if you have some personal file there, you can save them somewhere else and than delete windows.old.
