Thanks for the reference, I wasn't aware of those changes in Win 10 (I run mainly Linux and have been weaning myself off Win for some years).

"...(this value is commonly 255 characters)."

I think the word 'commonly' in those notes confirms my point in that it's changed slightly over the years. Also, I recall the internal processing was once 16k and not 32k, come to think of it this may have been with the previous version of NTFS (can't remember which version of Win that was). My interest is now piqued so I'll search it out.

That we're even discussing such matters confirms the thrust of the article.
