However, NTFS remains the de facto standard for storage and file management in modern Windows versions.
At last, Microsoft feels like taking action with itsResilient File System(ReFS) technology.
Despite being 14 years old, the storage format remains largely unfamiliar to most Windows users.
However, it is now being offered as an optional choice in a recent Windows 11 preview build.
Discovered bya prolific Windows insider, the new option appears in Windows 11 Build 27823.
A pop-up menu then provides two file system choices: the default NTFS format or the ReFS technology.
