Previous Windows Installation(s) missing? What to know
If you do not see a check box for this option then it means that there are no leftover previous Windows installation files on your system. Windows carries automatic clearing of caches and temporary files in the background regularly. Your previous installation files were likely cleared during this process. Additionally, if you have third-party cleaning software installed on your system then it could also have deleted the previous Windows installations from your system. Either way, the absence of this checkbox signifies the absence of any previous installation files.
