  1. WIMBoot - no longer needed for a compressed Windows 10 install?


    Apologies if this has already been asked, there are discussions about upgrading from aWIMBoot installation of 8.1 but nothing I could find about actually using WIMBoot with Windows 10.

    I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Home via the ISO, and along with the ~500MB and 100MB system partitions the install weighs in at 9.75GB. With 8.1 I could then convert to a WIMBoot install and save more space, but is this still the case for Windows 10? From what I've read Windows 10 is supposed to compress as it installs if it detects it's running on a device that doesn't have much storage, but how do I tell whether it has done this or not? If WIMBoot is still supported, am I likely to gain any more space using it?

    -edit-
    Apparently WIMBoot is not supported and Windows 10 compression is pretty good, so no worries!

    :)

  2. How do you reinstall windows on a windows tablet that uses wimboot?

    I figured out how to reinstall windows myself, Because windows 10 doesn't need a separate partition for wimboot no longer? when windows installs will it do compression automatically? because i reinstalled it and it seems its compressed?

  3. How do you reinstall windows on a windows tablet that uses wimboot?

    Resetting this tablet doesn't work, because even if i do that i still have random corruption problems, i want to delete the operating system and reinstall from usb , i just need help to get it reinstalled with wimboot compression. Isn't windows 10 wimboot
    different from windows 8.1 wimboot by that you don't need a separate partition for the wimboot images? So can i reinstall windows 10 from a usb flash drive and not need a special wimboot version?
