    Those are log files created by Windows that should contain the update files which caused the upgrade failure.
    I would suggest looking in to them first to see which update/s failed to possibly fix/correct it, after which, you can safely delete it.

    The Windows.old can also be deleted once your system is running smooth with no issues, but I would suggest either running a System Restore Point or backing up the entire system before deleting it.

    Hope this helps
