That’s not that same. That’s closer to Zswap. “Enable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression” enables compressing inactive memory pages in RAM. Zram is 1 or more compressed block devices in RAM that can store a much larger variety of data.

And the next question, can you make a RAM drive? Yes ImDisk. Even DOS had ramdrive.sys

Windows does have memory compression, though you can’t really change the algorithm or how aggressive it is. AFAIK it is just a toggle of on or off.

Zram is very different. What Windows has is closer to Zswap.

If you use swap (excluding hibernation) it means you need more ram.
