    Mazzy, Welcome to the forums,
    there are system restore points, page files, and temporary files that all take up space on the hard drive. It could be very easy for these files to get quite large very fast if you have not performed any kind of clean up tool

    Down load this and you will see everything on your drive.
    You mention that you just installed, if you did not format, it can be windows.old and that can be deleted if you are sure that you have all of your stuff from the old OS.

    If you have any doubt, you can make a system restore, download the software that I suggested and see exactly what is on your drive. When done you can even use system restore to remove it completely.
