idle curiosity: did you install from a sd, microsd, flashdrive, or dvd? or none of the above :) ??

if one installs on a drive that already has 7 or 8 on it, as before, will the install routine quarantine the previous files and proceed apace?

Did a clean install twice which wipes the hard drive clean. Once from DVD and the second time from USB flash drive. Nothing is saved from the previous OS.
