I have 2 windows old files. are these safe to delete to free up space?
Also, what is the program x 86 files? I was installing a game and it wanted to put it into that folder.
I`m in the learning stage with the 64 bit system.
thx.

All 32-bit programs will install to Program Files (x86). This is how 64-bit Windows differentiates between 64-bit programs and 32-bit programs.
