Installing Windows 11 Build 25281 on ReFS

Windows 11 now supports Resilient File System (ReFS). This guide will show you the steps you can take to try out the new file system on a clean install using the latest preview of the operating system available through the Dev Channel.

ReFS is a technology that meets storage requirements and overcomes the limitations of the old New Technology File System (NTFS). The file system supports large amounts of data, can share storage pools with different systems, and is resilient to corruption.

If you want to test the new file system, you can enable the feature using the ViveTool command-line tool to install a clean copy of Windows 11 with ReFS. The process for completing this task (via @XenoPanther) is still a bit unclear, and this guide will be updated accordingly with more details and clarification.
