Hi Chris,
I see you're concerned about that Windows.old folder on your C drive. Since you recently installed Windows 10 from a USB and now have a 128GB SSD, it's worth checking whether it's still needed. If it's not related to your current setup or recent changes, consider deleting it to free up space. Let me know if you need more help!

There was another operating system before Windows. You can safely remove it.

I got a completely fresh SSD and just reinstalled everything. I cleared the folder without much concern, more interested in figuring out where it came from.

You didn’t complete a full system reset or the setup encountered an issue mid-process

"Real" refers to the genuine version of Windows 10, not the emulated or virtualized copy you created.

When you applied Windows updates following an earlier installation, it might have created a Windows.old version.
