This is a great trick to save a few gigabytes of space on the OS, especially if you have a smaller mSata SSD for the boot drive.
 
   01. Right click the Start button ≫ Command Prompt (Admin)
   02. Run the following command to compress OS files
         Compact.exe /CompactOS:always
   03. The command takes about 10 minutes to complete depending on your hard drive and will free about 3 GB of space
