As part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we will fully support ReFS in Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Pro for Workstation editions. All other editions will have the ability to read and write but will not have the creation ability.
Can Windows 10 run on ReFS?
Current Windows 10 Pro already supports ReFS and can be used to create ReFS volumes on Storage Spaces. However, Windows machines must still use the traditional NTFS file system for certain roles, as ReFS is not yet bootable even in Windows 10 Pro for Workstations.
How do I use ReFS in Windows 10?
To create and format a storage using ReFS, do the following:
- Open Start.
- Do a search for Storage Spaces and click the result.
- Click the Create a new pool and storage space link.
- Select the two hard drives you intend to use with ReFS.
- Click Create pool.
- On the newly created storage space, enter a name for the new drive.
