I tried it on a VM with Windows 10, that's how I found out it denied them because they weren't signed. But then why does windows 7 not complain? Both are 64 bit.

You can remove the previous Windows installation files by using the Disk Cleanup utility and then selecting the button "Clean up system files" and letting the tool scan your system. The previous Windows installations will present as a choice to remove at the conclusion of the scan and by checking the box next to this they will be removed if you choose OK. I decided to do this in addition to cleaning up all the other choices and my drive dumped 52 Gigs of files when it was over after the new install of Windows 10. I do not have an SSD, just the original Seagate Barracuda, which has been a gem. FYI, the disk cleanup scan with system files included took about 30 minutes, then it took a good hour for the cleanup process to finish.
Is there any way to tell it not to back them up during the upgrade?
What brand? Makes a difference . . .
It's a Canon PIXMA IP6000D
