Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
These four shots (I hope you can read them) are the process, in sequence. If you are not getting these pages, then you have some weird software. Choose the "Custom install Windows only" option. Click "OK" on the disclaimer about "Windows.old", and the rest is step...
No, that isn't it. What I'm talking about is when you click on "install", then the "Read the...., yada-yada", it will analyze the system, and give you a "where to install windows" screen. When you click on your primary drive, it'll detect the other windows application. It then gives you the message about the files stored in a "windows.old" folder. When you agree, it gives you the installation type page. THAT is where you choose the fresh install, where nothing is saved, or the "custom" install.
I am going to run and take care of a client, and when I get back, if you haven't responded, I will run an install, up to that point, and get pics of each screen, and show it to you. If, in the meantime, you resolve the problem, just let me know.
You can email me directly , at ******@gmail.com, if you need to. Or, we can keep it on the forum. Whatever works for you.
Is the "Custom" option similar to the "Refresh" option in this video? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwwC-cSYMg
I can't see the word "Custom" anywhere, could you show me through this video (etc. 0:57) ?
Yes there is a "Custom" option for Windows 8. When you get to that page, choose "Custom" option. When you get to the page that asks where you want to install, choose your drive and then you'll get the message about there being a windows install there and there will be the windows.old folder. Just be careful on the drive option page that you don't format the drive. That's what erases your files.
Let me know what happens.
I think there's no "Custom" option in Windows 8 but there are two options in:
start> right corner> pc settings> general> Refresh your PC without affecting your files ,and, Remove everything and reinstall Windows (check on youtube to see the messages that pop up)
I think with "Custom" you mean the first one, but it says in that that i will lose my installed files (games and applications) and i don't want to lose those either (but i will do if i'm sure it works with my problem).
If you mean the second one, i think all my files (installed and non-installed files) will be deleted. If you mean something else let me know.
Thanks anyway :)
