Windows 10: Create storage pool and storage space in storage areas

Starting with version 1903, Windows 10 introduces Reserved Storage, a new feature that reserves a portion of your device storage that the system can use for updates and prevent problems due to lack of storage space.

Reserved storage typically reserves about 7 GB of disk space for updates, temporary files, system cache, and apps. When a new update is available, Windows 10 automatically deletes the files on Reserved storage so that updates can be installed successfully.

While it's a useful feature, it also means that your device's availability is reduced by the amount of space reserved for updates, which you can't change. However, there are several ways to influence the amount of storage allocated for reserved storage.
