Does Windows 8 upgrade 'keep nothing' option format hard drive

    Im selling my laptop, which had a win8 upgrade license.

    I have upgraded it with the 'keep nothing' option.

    Will this have formatted the hard drive? I know it won`t be a full format but does it do a quick format? Can`t seem to find an answer online - quickly anyway:pac:.

    EDIT:

    It retained a 'Windows old' folder which had loads of my documents in it.

    only when you select the option "fully clean the drive" - which is pretty self explanatory.
