Has anyone heard whether Win 10 will allow booting from a ReFS partition?
i've been running few refs volumes year under windows 8.1. it's been flawless.
so...
will see windows 10 enable refs boot volume?
maybe give easy ability have larger 2 tb boot volume on bios computer?
it nice...

detailed how-to in ebooks: | configure windows 7 "to work" options |
i hoped included unsupported experimental available feature in win10. as can tell, worked on filesystem , functionality (the refs driver version number v2.x , there hints of boot capabilities in code) preview builds considered 'feature complete' don't accept refs volumes installation target, think has wait still.
boot >2tb refs volume on bios? don't think so. as can tell, refs can't act btrfs , take on whole lba space of disk , still place mbr @ beginning capable of mounting "sub-volumes". think (well, sadly) refs still require ("legacy") partition table (mbr or gpt) present on disk. won't able format whole disk (unlike modern linux filesystems). not sure refs have sort of "sub-volume" kind of functionality allow show working <=2tb boot volume on >2tb filesystem bios if supply it's own mbr (which can't).
refs not "back future" yet. mean... in days, partitioning came solve problems , add (then) needed functionality. nowadays, think it's unnecessary, redundant requirement , should have been superseded (not implementing new table format isn't backward compatible in real sense, forget never happened did tons of other "legacy" things). should able format disks modern filesystem without need partition table (the same way before invented partition tables , before became popular thought it's fine think of them prerequisites file systems).
oh well, yes, can still format pendrive "big floppy" on windows. can't sata/sas/pci-e storage, not if want install windows on it. miss that.
