Reserving disk space to keep Windows 10 up to date Insider

It is enabled, I enabled it.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ReserveManager"

Maybe it takes time for it to build up?

I see what you mean though, no Reserved storage showing under System & Reserved. Now I ask why, as I did enable it. I've rebooted several times sense then too. Maybe because it's a Virtual Machine (Oracle VB)?

It doesn't show on my Laptop either which is running 18309.1000 Home and which I also enabled:

Ah, seems like it should allocate it now before the next update to insure it's available for the next update.

Where did you get steps 5 and 6? If they are from the Quest, the Feedback App is not working for me so I can't look at it. I get this:

Never MInd. I was trying to run the quest from a non-Insider machine. Ran it on my Laptop and it works fine.

Nobody has answered my question, so I'm trying again. Can it be switched off or be moved out of C:\?? Or is this just another "dead meat" to drag in every drivebackup of C:\

I really don't need this at all, and I really don't need 7+Gbyte extra to back up every week

Currently no. Hopefully in future versions.

I'm not sure it would be included in a backup though since this will be a cache something like the pagefile.

I have enabled it but I see I'll have to wait until the next update for it to be enabled.

Okay, but that requires the backup program (in my case Acronis) know about this "file" and/or "file-type" to exclude this in a backup for the full SSD, right?

It's pretty much a wait and see until after the next build update to see how it actually works.
