    That’s not that same. That’s closer to Zswap. “Enable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression” enables compressing inactive memory pages in RAM. Zram is 1 or more compressed block devices in RAM that can store a much larger variety of data.

      Yeah, I remember using ramdrive.sys in the DOS days to make a drive letter in memory to speed up our CAD software. My point was windows has similar tools for memory compression and drives, just that it is not as easily tinkeres with like Linux.
