Any thoughts about Windows 11 be able to use dedup from Windows Server 2022 or 2019? The build numbers don't line up between 11 and 2022 (20348 vs 22000+) Technically it's Windows 10 21H2, so it should be compatible like W10 was.
As far as I can tell, latest dedup files work fine for now. That will likely change though as they mux around with more and more stuff, or whenever a new server build of the files come out, whichever one
Speaking of compatibility you should be aware that the on disk format of deduped files changed a few times in the past. 10240 to 14393 systems are unable to read deduped files coming from 16299+ systems (and win8x systems are unable to read w10 deduped volumes). If you need to read the newer format with say Server 2016 you can replace its dedup.sys with one coming from 16.299+. The deduplication itself will not work but the deduped files will be readable again. (The same trick will not work on w81/server2012)
hey there, could someone post the link for the dedup files for win10 21h1? i'm having issues in locating them, if you are not able, which edition of windows server should I use to get the packages? thanks Majid
