    unless the last version of server 2016 files work with any new builds, it will most likely depend on a new build of server to get new dedup files for Win10 since that is where they come from.

    I am new to this but fail to understand what is the need for this deduplication? What is it used for in Windows context?

    It's a way to save storage space.

    The saving can be huge when a lot of similar files are stored on the same volume.

    Tipical examples are the ISO folders and the virtual HDDs of virtual machines.

    Uninstall, reboot, try again

    what the installer status says about creating services? success?

    open the dedup installer folder in windows explorer
    right-click the _TestRights.cmd, select runAs Admin.
    when you see a new command prompt windows open(not the one running the _testright.cmd file), then close it.
    if you don't see the new window, then try again.

    Now in the dedup folder back in windows explorer, right-click installer.cmd, select runAs admin.
    you should get the message displayed in the picture in post #157.

    The dedup features are now installed.

    now to enable dedup on a drive other than your windows OS disk:
    - say E: is the disk you need to dedup

    Enable-DedupVolume -Volume "E:"
    Set-DedupVolume –Volume "E:" -MinimumFileAgeDays 0 -MinimumFileSize 32768

    Start-DedupJob -Volume "E:" -Type Optimization –Memory 30 -Full
    Start-DedupJob -Volume "E:" -Type GarbageCollection –Memory 30 -Full
    Start-DedupJob -Volume "E:" -Type Optimization –Memory 20 -Full -Wait
    Start-DedupJob -Volume "E:" -Type GarbageCollection –Memory 20 -Full -Wait
    Start-DedupJob -Volume "E:" -Type Scrubbing –Memory 20 -Full -Wait

    That's it.
