Windows 7 Install

When you install windows 7, does it give you a option to format the hard drive and to just install on the current format and when it does that will it backup the old windows and put it in a folder ?

It'll do the formatting, but no backup during install. Do that before, our install to a spare partition/hdd

if you dont need the previous windows do a format then install gives more space back

When you install on a partition with an existing Windows install on it , then all the files will be backed up to a Windows.old folder if I remember correctly.
