NoelC Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Just a reminder: If you upgrade your OS in such a way that the installer makes a Windows.Old folder, beware: Microsoft will schedule a task that will delete some or all of the data in Windows.Old after a certain time (most report it happens in a few days). If you've done an upgrade where you end up with a Windows.Old, you need to IMMEDIATELY take steps to preserve your data. In fact, you should have already taken such steps, in the form of backups, BEFORE doing the upgrade. But if you haven't, and Microsoft has "preserved" your data in Windows.Old, just bear in mind that they're going to come along and delete it soon. Count on it. How many, I wonder, have read the following: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-files-upgrade-windows-old -Noel Edited June 20, 2014 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
