  Right? And Why has Windows 7 got a higher disk space requirement than Windows 8.x (the only time it actually went down over time)

    Maybe is Windows 7 all the service packs of a long lived OS.

    Part of the Windows 8 (8.1 actually) objectives was to reduce the memory and disk footprint so that cheap tablets could be viable. With WIMBOOT enabled a full 8.1 install could fit in slightly over 3 GB on certain devices (the evolution of WIMBOOT is automativally enabled in 10 when the installer sees fit)

      Is there anyway to force it to enable?

        Looks like it is, but it's not straightforward as a checkbox during installation: https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/compact-os?redirectedfrom=MSDN https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/windows-hardware/manufactur...
