New Laptop, New W10 - Old Laptop ebay, windows.old files?
I wasnt too sure how the title would go so just laid it out.
I bought a new laptop that came with Windows 10 Home, old Laptop I was using with the Insider Program on Windows 10 Pro, it was a 7 to 10 upgrade. I was able to upgrade the Home version to Pro buy purchasing it. I originally wanted to swap the hard drive but after posting was told not gonna work, maybe but prob not, so just bought it instead. So now I backed up files off old laptop and transfered them to an external HD to the new laptop, its all good now.
Now that I pulled my files off the old laptop I decided to wipe the old laptop and start anew so that I can throw it on eBay. It is right now a clean install, I used the online clean install version, so I guess it downloaded a tool, prob the ESD-ISO and went thru install itself, nice no more having to burn dvd etc.
After the install I set it up without a MS account, then just created a USR to be able to login. I checked explorer to see the HD and find it to be the same size available as before, so checked and saw that there is an Windows.old folder obviously containing old windows, even though I requested nothing to save, hmm.
So now the question, can I delete folders that are left over from last install, including windows.old and then be able to throw on eBay? I know I can wipe it completely clean but wanted to upsell the 10 version lol
Thanks
