I have an HP tx2110us touch-screen laptop, the operating system of which was recently updated from Windows Vista Home to Windows 8 Pro. After the installation, in addition to the expected Windows folder, there was a folder called Windows.old. This folder occupied about 11 GB of disk space.
Is it needed, or is it some backup in case I want to revert to Vista? In particular, can i delete it?
