    Crashes during installation


    Hi all,

    I was trying to downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Pro when my computer restarts and I cant resume back the installation due to an unexpected error. I installed a new copy of windows 7 now but how do I delete my older windows files and setup rollback to free up my drive C space? and It is safe to do so?
    Thank you.

    Hi.

    Yes, completely safe. You should first look in the Windows.old folder for anything you may want to keep. Copy/paste out of there to a new location.

    Then run disk cleanup to remove the Windows.old folder and reclaim space.

Update: Problem solved - turned out it was caused by SpeedStep, a couplr of bios settings that stepped down the multiplier whilst the CPU is under light usage. Turning this off solved the problem. Now if I could only figure out how to put the little "Solved" prefix on this post.. Just as...
