Microsoft plans to improve the overall storage requirement of its upcoming operating system Windows 10 for systems running it.
The company revealed two enhancements coming to Windows 10 in this regard in a blog post on the official Blogging Windows blog.
The first improvement comes only to some systems. Windows takes into account several factors, such as the amount of memory and the cpu to determine whether data can be compressed to free up storage space without affecting the system's performance in a negative way.
If that is the case, Windows 10 will be compressed automatically to free up storage space. According to Microsoft, doing this saves 1.5 Gigabyte of storage on 32-bit systems and 2.6 Gigabyte of storage on 64-bit systems.
