    My entire computer is blank after the clean install which leaves the windows.old folder. Should I keep it or get rid of it? And does anyone know of the basic programs I should re download and install after the clean install? Help appreciated.

    The main sections to transfer would be Documents, Music, Videos, etc.

    If you saved all your data I would delete it. Takes up to much space on hard drive.
