Ngokuvuselelwa kweWindows 8.1, iMicrosoft inciphise usayizi wokufaka wohlelo futhi yalungisa ukuze amadivayisi aphansi njengamaphilisi ezinsiza eziphansi akwazi ukuyifaka. Ngakho-ke, isuke kokungu-32 GB wesitoreji iWindows 8 ebikudinga kwaba ngu-16 GB kuphela, nangokufika kwe- Windows 10 kulindeleke ukuthi umsebenzi owenziwa kumadivayisi we-OEM ufinyelela kuphela 6.6 GB in pre-ukufaka.
IMicrosoft ichaze ifayela le- amasu amabili oyisebenzisela ukufeza leyo njongo.
Okokuqala, basebenzisa indlela yakudala ebikhona isikhathi eside ezinhlelweni zefayela futhi evumela ukuthi idiski ikhule ngokwengeziwe: ukuminyaniswa kwefayela. Njengoba sazi, uhlelo lwefayela le-NTFS luvumela womabili amafayela namafolda ukuthi ingacindezelwa, ukunciphisa umthamo wakho wediski ngezindleko ze- iprosesa encane ngaphezulu. Le ndlela eyavela maphakathi no-2000 ilula futhi ishibhile ngasikhathi sinye, yingakho-ke bethathe isinqumo sokuyisebenzisa kabusha kulesi sikhathi.
Ngenkathi ukufakwa kohlelo kuqhubeka, kuyahlolwa ukuthi amandla weprosesa anele yini ukucindezela uhlelo lwefayela ngaphandle kokuthola umthelela omkhulu ekusebenzeni iqembu jikelele. Uma kunjalo (futhi ubheka ukuthi le ndlela isinezizukulwane eziningana zamakhompyutha emuva kweminyaka eyishumi), amafayela wohlelo azocindezelwa kudiski. Ngendlela efanayo, i-Apps nayo ingacindezelwa ukonga lesi sikhala.
Ukuze unike amandla i- ukwehla kokusebenza okuphezuluIMicrosoft ingeze ama-algorithms amasha ohlelweni lwefayela le-NTFS, olwenzelwe ukucindezela amafayela asebenzayo. Zonke zibonakala zingezinye ezavele zisetshenzisiwe kwenye isoftware evela enkampanini iRedmond. Ngokwesibonelo, ezintathu zazo zisuselwa ekushintsheni kwe- «Xpress» algorithm futhi asetshenziswa kumafayela wesistimu abalulekile njengamafayela we-hibernation, izibuyekezo zeWindows namafayela wesithombe seWindows (Windows Imaging Format, WIM). I-algorithm yesine, i-LZX, isetshenziswa kumafayili ekhabhinethi we-CAB futhi ngokuzikhethela kuma-WIM. Ngayinye ye-algorithm ithola imiphumela ehlukile ngokuya ngosayizi wokusebenza nosayizi owumphumela. Ekugcineni, kukhona i-algorithm ye-LZNT1 lokho kusetshenziselwa ukuminyaniswa kwamafayela kukonke.
Sekukonke, iMicrosoft ikholelwa ukuthi iyakwazi gcina u-1.5 GB kumasistimu angama-32-bit no-2.6 GB kumasistimu angama-64-bit. Lezi zibalo ziyasebenza futhi kumadivayisi weWindows 10.
Indlela yesibili yokonga isikhala uku ukuqedwa kwengxenye ethathe usayizi omkhulu ngaphakathi kohlelo. Imayelana ne- isithombe sokutakula. Izinhlelo ze-OEM zivame ukufaka ukwahlukanisa okufihliwe nezithombe zezinhlelo zazo "ezihlanzekile" futhi ezisetshenziselwa ukubuyiselwa. Lezi zingxenye zihlala okungenani i-4Gb yesikhala kungabalwa amakhulukhulu e-MB asetshenziswe nayo yonke isoftware efakwe ngaphambili evamise ukufaka. Nge-Windows 10 zonke lezi zinto zisusiwe.
Kusukela manje kuqhubeke Windows 10 kuzoqukatha, esikhundleni sokwahlukanisa namafayela anezithombe zohlelo, izikhombisi kumafayili wokutakula okwahlukaniswa. Le ndlela empeleni iyinkimbinkimbi futhi leyo yeRedmond kuye kwadingeka isetshenziswe kahle ukufeza ukwenziwa kwayo okufanele.
Windows 10 isebenzisa kuphela amafayela wohlelo ukwenza ukutakula kwayo. Uhlelo lokusebenza "lwazi" ukuthi yimaphi amafayela akulo futhi okungelona. Lapho ubuyisela idivayisi, kufanele umane ususe yonke into okungeyona eye-Windows bese ubuyisela irejista namanye amafayela abucayi kumingcele yawo ezenzakalelayo.
Le ndlela, ngaphezu kokunciphisa inani lokusetshenziswa kwediski, izokhawulela isikhathi esichithwe ukuthola uhlelo kusukela izibuyekezo kuwo noma amabala ezokuphepha ngeke asuswe lapho usebenzisa le ndlela, okuthile okwenzekile lapho ukutakula kwenziwa ngezithombe.
Okuwukuphela kwempendulo engakacaciswa ngabantu beMicrosoft ukuthi, kuzokwenzekani kulabo amadivaysi amancane amandla (khumbula lawo 16 GB) lapho kufanele benze yonke imisebenzi ye- ukubuyela emuva ngesikhala esincane kangaka. Inkampani ayikaqiniseki ukuthi ingayisebenzisa yini le ndlela ngqo kubo ngakho-ke ihlola ezinye izindlela ezimbili ezivumela ukuvuselelwa kwemishini eshiwo.
