Just a quick question, I am currently re-installing Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) on my computer, It had been installed previously and I chose the same partition to re-install it on and it popped with a message saying my old files would be saved on "Windows.Old" which I could access.

My question to you guys is, What exactly does this mean? Can I access these files with ease? Will I have to re-install all of my programs again? Will it take up much space (I know that question is relative to what I have on it but lets say I had a full HDD would it save all of it?).

Finally will it slow down this new OS im installing?

Any replies will be appreciated,

Thanks Guys!
