Run disk cleanup as administrator. (do a search and select disk cleanup from search results) Once it scans your drive , from the list of folders, check previous windows installatations

Following up on the above, yes - you can delete them. But as glasskuter points out, you can use disk cleanup to do it for you. Just be certain you either don't need to revert to the prior Windows version OR that you have a current disk image.

As @allan points out, make sure you don't want to revert to the previous version of windows or have a image of your system in case something goes awry. I usually leave one previous version restore so I can if I need to.

Also, there's no need to take pictures, simply use Snipping Tool.

Never thought of that! I will next time. Thanks. I have a habit of using my phone to take snapshots. Actually I am using my iPhone to post on this forum.
