Got a notification, "Running low on Storage. Remove previous version of Win 11?"

[UTUSN]

All I know is that a few days ago there was an Update that said it would take longer than usual because it was some kind of big deal. I have no idea whether it did something extensive about Windows 11.

Being low tech, I'm paranoid about "removing" something like this. Where would I look to find Storage or where the previous version is?

Should I do this Remove? What precautions are to be taken? Thanks.

1. Windows creates a backup before it upgrades, in case there's a problem during the install process.

It's asking if you want to remove that backup.

If you have a backup solution in place and you have the room, it's not a bad idea to make a backup prior to any changes, but as long as the upgrade went fine and you're not having issues, it's usually safe to let it delete the old install. In some cases, they're deleted automatically after ten days.

To remove it manually, check the Windows 11 section here:

2. I don't know the fix but this is a known bug with this particular upgrade

Google the problem. You'll find more in the tech sites; especially search the Microsoft Support site.
