Windows – use the new ReFS file system on Windows 8

filesystemsrefswindows 8

Windows Server 2012 comes with the new File System ReFS, which is Microsoft's upgrade to NTFS. Is there any way to use this for my Windows 8 partition?

Best Answer

Microsoft is planning to upgrade ReFS to be capable of being a boot volume, but no time span has been given yet.

With this in mind, we will implement ReFS in a staged evolution of the feature: first as a storage system for Windows Server, then as storage for clients, and then ultimately as a boot volume. This is the same approach we have used with new file systems in the past.
