The files contained in this archive will allow you to enable a useful Windows Server feature known as Data Deduplication.
The files contained herein are for any Windows 10 2004 systems. They were pulled from Windows Server 2020 v2004.
Included are instructions for installation and removal for en-US systems. For other languages, you will find the corresponding files in the included "LanguageFiles" directory.
To install a different language, replace the en-US files with your language and adjust your installation/removal commands accordingly.

After you install the pack, you will need to run a few PowerShell commands to setup the volumes you wish to enable deduplication on. Below is the setup that I use.

From an elevated PowerShell command prompt, enter the following commands:

Enable-DedupVolume -Volume "X:"
Set-DedupVolume –Volume "X:" -MinimumFileAgeDays 0 -MinimumFileSize 32768

-Note: Replace "X:" with the drive/partition letter for your usage scenario.

Some useful commands are listed below.

Start-DedupJob -Volume "X:" -Type Optimization -Full -Wait
Start-DedupJob -Volume "X:" -Type GarbageCollection -Full
Start-DedupJob -Volume "X:" -Type Scrubbing -Full

There are many ways in which data deduplication can be setup. If you are interested in learning, I recommend that you check out Microsofts documentation.
