You can still browse, launch games and programs exactly as you did before. **How is this different from the built-in compression in older versions of Windows?** -This is similar to the NTFS-LZNT1 compression built-in to Windows (Right click > Properties > Compress to save space) however the newer algorithms introduced in Windows 10+ are far superior, resulting in greater compression ratios with almost no performance impact. Those with older HDDs may even see a performance gain in the form of reduced loading times - smaller files can be read into RAM faster, and the CPU can decompress them on the fly much faster than a typical HDD can supply them.
