Or I could just buy a 1TB SSD drive for the laptop. It would be cheaper than 
the license for Server 2012 :)  Drive space was the primary factor at the time.

If you want de-dup that badly, just install the server os on the laptop.

I would be remiss if I did not relay a recent experience with this.  A few 
months back, my Win8 install found itself in an unrecoverable state after a 
failed patch installation.  I was unable to recover the VMs
 I had on a second, deduplicated partition; Windows simply refused to read 
anything on the volume.  I ended up just rebuilding my Hyper-V lab after 
reinstalling the OS.
 
So I definitely would not put anything critical on a Win8 dedup volume.

Warning: “Way beyond supported”
---------------------------------------------
 
Dedup seems to be working with 8.1 RTM MSDN release with some tweaks.
But as Michael says.. not supported.. so don’t blame me if/when you mess up 
your harddrives..
 
See these links
http://weikingteh.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/how-to-enable-data-deduplication-in-windows-8/
There is a script in the end for R2 releases as a comment.
 
Repackaged .cab version is below but I don’t know if I should dare to use it on 
my own pc

btw. If you are running vm:s on the disk. Close them
before the optimize command and disable the scheduled jobs with
Set-DedupSchedule -name * -Enabled $false

Correct, it’s not included in Win8.0 but it’s very easy to install.  I would 
assume a similar process could be done on Win8.1, possibly using 2012 R2.  I’ll 
let you know in a few weeks

I know – it’s not included in Windows 8.0 either, but there are some directions 
to install it anyway. I’m just curious if a similar process will work with 8.1 
(wondering if someone has tried it yet).
 
Cheers,
Trevor Sullivan

De-duplication isn’t included in Windows 8.1.  It’s a server-only feature.
 
Thanks,

Does this work on Windows 8.1?

Yes, it should help, potentially significantly.  I actually use disk dedup on 
my Win8 machine on the volume holding my Client Hyper-V VMs and can see pretty 
substantial disk savings.

I theory I think it should help with disk cost.

Does enabling data de-duplication on the host help saving disk space?
Anyone having it enabled and can check?
