[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 798347, member: 56231"] There are two types of OS installation: 1. Clean Install, or Erase & Install - this will wipe absolutely everything from your hard drive before installing the new OS; 2. Archive & Install - this will preserve everything but the previous OS. It will retain the old OS in a folder called Previous System. You can safely delete that folder, but [U]only after[/U] you're satisfied that everything is working as it should with the replacement OS. [/QUOTE]
