Hi wroot and vsterkin :

 

These new commands are only available with Windows 10, version 2004. We are looking at bringing them to earlier releases, but I don't have a time frame to share right now. 

 

Regarding the statement around disk-space-constrained devices, I need to fix that sentence to make it clearer. When we enable the reserve, we will attempt to reserve what we need (based on optional features, installed languages, etc.). However, we may need to reserved less so that the user is left with either 2% or 3GB (whichever is smaller). So disk-space-constrained means any device where we are unable to reserved what we need and need to reserved less. 

 

Thanks,

Steve
