Another question: Where's the 'Windows Experience index' gone in Win 8.1?

Windows.old is basically a copy of the old OS (W8), as long as everything is working as it should, all your data is there, then yep delete it.

Windows Experience -- Its GONE.

Along with several other items features-microsoft-removed-in-windows-8.1/ (www.howtogeek.com) The backup is included, so now you can use Active@ instead to make images :)

1357909 2013-10-27 00:18:00 After the disk cleanup, I just finished created the new 8.1 system image with Active@, everything seems to be OK.

However, I do notice that the total disk space used by C:\ is 33.8 GB but the disk space used by the Active@ image is only 16.4 GB.

The image file is compressed?

Yes .
It gives you a choice on how much compression you want when you make the image . . .
