How do I find a previous windows version. It's telling me to copy files and then delete old version.

When I got on my laptop today, I saw that there was a message from HP Support Assistant. It says that I have an older versions of windows and that the previous versions of windows was saved in a folder c:\windows.old. it says that the folder is very large and it recommends me coping any old files I want to keep and then delete the Windows.old to free up more disk space. It has a help column that says, "How do I backup my files from Window.old? When I do what it tells me to do, I can't find it. Could someone please help me? Thanks you.

Hi,
Looks like a new OS has been installed/re-installed. Do you want to keep Windows.old folder for just in case? Otherwise you can delete it using the following instructions:
