No, all seems good now.

 

I have noticed that with Windows 10 my laptop now takes 10x longer to start up, do you know if the old windows OS is automatically deleted?

 

Thanks for your help

It is not deleted; a copy is kept in case you want to revert back to the previous operating system.

 

You have plenty of RAM and enough space on your hard drive for it not to have made a difference speed-wise.

If after a while you are happy with the new operating system you can delete the folder that contains the old version and your old files.

 

Note: you'll no longer be able to revert to the old operating system once you've deleted the folder.

 

It can be found at C:\Windows.old

 

Are you happy for me to close this now or do you have any other concerns?
