Windows 10’s iteration of system compression retains that performance tuning and gains the advantage of tuning and enablement based on performance data from in-market devices. “On the topic of compression performance, we conducted extensive analysis and tuning for the first iteration of system compression (called WIMBOOT, we have a little more to say about WIMBOOT further below). It seems Microsoft is also planning to test it out in an upcoming build of Windows 10.īut is this compression reliable enough? Microsoft thinks so. If a system meets both the requirements, the compression technique will kick in.

Microsoft notes that whether or not its latest compression method would work on a system depends on a number of factors including the amount of RAM the system has and how quickly its CPU decompress algorithms when retrieving system files. But will it work on all Windows 10 systems? No.
