Bypassing Windows 10 Features upgrade procedure's full system backup in Windows.old folder
Hello everyone. This post concerns the Windows Development Team and must be considered as a new Feature Request. How difficult would be to create two options for users that are about to perfo...
So it will be created either way, the only suggestion here is to whether delete it automatically or let the user first evaluate the new installation and if every thing is alright then delete that folder which is the safest and better option, logically speaking.
- Yes I meant delete it automatically and immediately after Windows installation, so that the user won't ever see it on their C drive.
Hello everyone.
Just to clarify things a little bit more from my initial post about this issue, what i mean with "bypassing" is to not create the Windows.old folder at all and directly update ( add new system files , remove old ones, update/patch existing ones ) and at the end with a batch script make all the necessary Windows Registry modifications reflecting all previous changes in system files.
However, if Windows.old folder is created anyway and there is no way to avoid its creation then there is no reason to discuss this issue any further.
Thank you very much.
- Yes I think let it be like this cause it's how Windows is designed to be upgraded under the hood.
