Your friend asks for your help with upgrading his computer to Windows 10. You plan to perform a clean install of Windows 10 on his computer, which has Windows 8.1 installed. What should you tell your friend he will be able to find on the computer's hard drive after the installation is complete?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Windows 10 installation files After a clean install, the computer's hard drive will contain the files related to the new Windows 10 installation. If the installation process was performed by booting from installation media and selecting a drive to install Windows 10, the previous OS might be moved to a "Windows.old" folder, but the primary content will be the Windows 10 files.

Answer

A. previous Windows8.1 installation A clean installation typically formats the drive or overwrites the previous OS, effectively removing the functional Windows 8.1 installation. While a "Windows.old" folder might be created containing some old OS files, the *installation* itself is not retained as a functional entity.

Answer

B. backup copy of all personal files A clean installation does not automatically create a backup copy of all personal files; users must manually back up their data *before* performing a clean install.

Answer

C. user profiles migrated to Windows 10 User profiles are not automatically migrated during a clean installation; they are part of the data that needs to be backed up and restored manually.
