To remove Windows Old version, open "This PC" or "My Computer," click on C:\, select Properties, then go to Disk Cleanup. Find the option to clean up system files, click it, review the options, and confirm by checking the box for old Windows.
Upgrading essentially means retaining your current Windows setup while requiring you to install additional drivers and software. If you’re confident nothing needs updating, proceed with the steps from my initial post. No worries!
You can also delete OLS update files there—it's a suitable spot to review monthly if you have Windows on an SSD with limited storage.
Upgrading isn't a fresh start. It keeps some old Windows files and doesn't completely refresh everything. All previous issues will remain. Exclude any extra compatibility challenges—upgrading can bring more problems than a clean setup.
By doing that I won't lose my Local D disk—it's just a partition, not an actual HDD.
It seems the previous version was moved to a convenient location, but the current installation retained files from that earlier setup. The removal only cleared the Windows.old directory without affecting the partitions. Thanks for explaining!
