How to migrate to ReFS
Save the existing Windows system as a .wim image, format the partition to be installed in ReFS format, and release the image to the partition. In theory, no operation is required for EFI booting.
In addition, due to the difference in the .wim image storage tool, please note that the recycle bin will not be packaged into the .wim image in most cases.
