Windows quite often rewrites the entire Windows OS, so there exist Windows-OLD and Windows (new install). This takes time and means a separate file is created for Windows -old.Probably because Windows updates are less frequent, so need to update more at once /and/ they're backward compatible, again updating more at once.This was explanation I saw a few years ago on a help desk forum.
