Alongside a paid study showing a ridiculous Windows 11 performance advantage, Microsoft has also published a real example of improvement in 24H2’s file system.
Yesterday, alongside the release of the Windows 11 2024 feature update, Microsoft published feature details regarding Windows 11 LTSC 2024 and Windows 11 24H2 for managed PCs.
One of the several new features LTSC has received is VHD-based Dev Drive utilizing ReFS or Resilience File System. The feature debuted back in 2023 at Build, when the company promised up to 30% faster performance.
Today, the company announced that ReFS on Windows 11 24H2 is getting another performance improvement thanks to the new Block Cloning feature. It was already present in Server versions since 2016 but is now being introduced on client PCs as well.
