Microsoft: Heavy Reduction in Disk Space Use for Windows 10


Microsoft is unveiling new features and details of Windows 10 with every passing day. Windows 10 is poised to be the best and complete operating system ever built by Microsoft. Yesterday, it was leaked that Microsoft will be delivering new updates by using the peer-to-peer technology used in Torrents. Today, Microsoft made an announcement via its blog about the storage savings in the new version of Windows. Microsoft said that it is working on reducing the “disk footprint” of Windows 10 which will give more data storage to you. With the new improvements being made, you can save nearly 15GB of storage depending upon the computer configuration. So let me break it down to you, how Microsoft aims to achieve this much space saving: Using the file compression technique, Windows 10 will now use 2.6GB lesser on 64-bit machines and 1.5GB lesser storage space on 32-bit machines. Microsoft isn’t making Windows 10 to use separate recovery image for OS’s refresh and reset options. This will free up additional 4GB to 12GB space depending upon the PC users. This adds up to about 15GB space saving. Phones will not be benefitted from this change as they have a different recovery solution. Due to this new and enhanced functionality, Windows 10 devices will have more storage space free for movies, documents and music.
