  1. Pervious Windows installation should be deleted or not?


    So yesterday the beta build of Windows 11 came out and I had it install on my pc, and you know what the experience was fantastic but I found a thing that was poking me again and again, when I upgraded my windows the older Windows 10 files were still there consuming my precious storage so I went on finding those files and I did it here System>Storage> Cleanup recommendations but now I have a little doubt, i.e., is my Windows 11 using any resources from Windows 10 and if I delete those installation of old Windows 10 then will my pc be affected.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Pervious Windows installation should be deleted or not? ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
