For those of you using the Windows operating system, it is certainly no stranger to NTFS hard drive format (short for New Technology File System).
It has to be said that the NTFS format is actually very good, it provides extremely high stability during operation and has advanced features that you would not find in any other file system.
But everything has its advantages, and NTFS is no exception. There are still some specific tasks that the NTFS format is not capable of handling.

To solve this problem, Microsoft has created a new file system called Resilient File System (ReFS Abbreviation) to overcome those weaknesses of NFFS.
So what is ReFS? And how do I enable ReFS on Windows 10? Please join me to find out details through this article!
#first. Learn about Microsoft’s ReFS file system
As I just said, Resilient File System (ReFS) is a new file system created by the father of the Windows operating system, appearing for the first time on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems.
It is designed to ensure reliability and maximize data on storage devices even if they have hardware failure.
Below are some of the features of ReFS:
– Supports large data volumes up to 1.2 trillion Terabytes.
– The maximum file size is 16 million Terabytes.
– Better fault tolerance.
– Integrity: ReFS is able to store and protect our data from common errors that can cause data loss.
If any errors occur, ReFS can detect when using Storage Spaces, it will automatically find and fix them.
In some system failures, ReFS will be able to recover from the errors quickly while keeping the user’s data intact.
– Application compatibility : Maintains support for the NTFS features, because this format is being used very commonly on computers.
To maximize AppCompat, ReFS supports a subset of NTFS features, plus the Win32 API.
Data stored on ReFS drives can be easily accessed using File Explorer (Windows + E), or other software available on operating systems.
#2. How to enable ReFS on Windows 10
First appeared on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012, and of course ReFS still supports Windows 10 operating system, but by default it will be disabled.
If you need to reformat the drive according to ReFS, you must re-enable it first, and that is also the reason we have this article.
Note: But before you do, you need to back up the entire system Registry because in this article we will edit and move to the Windows 10 Registry, so that if you make a mistake and get an error, you can still restore. restore as usual!
Perform:
+ Step 1: First, open Windows Run (Windows + R) => then enter regedit => and press OK to open a familiar Registry editing tool called Registry Editor.
+ Step 2: Please copy, paste the path below into the address box of Registry Editor => and press the key Enter for quick access to the directory FileSystem.
In this folder, right click on the empty box on the right and select New => select DWORD (32-bit) Value to create a new value.
Path in the Registry (how to quickly open a path Regedit):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control FileSystem
+ Step 3: You name this new value RefsDisableLastAccessUpdate
If the creation is not in time, you can right click on the current name (for example New Value #1) => then select the line Rename to change the name properly.
After you correct the name, double-click on the value RefsDisableLastAccessUpdate to edit, in the cell:
- Value data remodeled into
1. - Base then leave it as default
Hexadecimal
=> Then press OK is done.
+ Step 4: Continue to find and access the key MiniNT follow the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control
If MiniNT If not available, right-click on the folder Control => then select New => select Key and name it MiniNT.
+ Step 5: After that MiniNT then you proceed to create a value DWORD (32-bit) new by right clicking on the empty box to the right of this folder => and selecting New => DWORD (32-bit) Value.
+ Step 6: Name the value you just created AllowRefsFormatOverNonmirrorVolume => Then double click on this value, and set the following:
- Value Data: Fix the number
0Fort1to activate. - Base: You still leave it
Hexadecimal
=> Then press OK is done.
+ Step 7: Now close the Registry and restart your computer for the above changes to take effect.
Then create a new partition or plug in any external storage device (eg USB) => and then proceed to format (Format) again according to ReFS style.
Finally, you can check the file format by right clicking on the partition or just formatted USB => and selecting Properties.
At the window Properties, in the General tab you look down File system if you see it ReFS is OK.
# 3. Epilogue
So I have very detailed instructions for you how to activate the ReFS file system (Resilient File System) on Windows 10 operating system okay.
Hopefully this article will be useful for your work. Good luck !
