+	  Windows OS native file system (NTFS) support up to NTFS version 3.1.
+
+	  Y or M enables the NTFS3 driver with full features enabled (read,
+	  write, journal replaying, sparse/compressed files support).
+	  File system type to use on mount is "ntfs3". Module name (M option)
+	  is also "ntfs3".

+	help
+	  Windows implementation of ntfs.sys uses 32 bits per clusters.
+	  If activated 64 bits per clusters you will be able to use 4k cluster
+	  for 16T+ volumes. Windows will not be able to mount such volumes.
+
+	  It is recommended to say N here.

+	  In Windows 10 one can use command "compact" to compress any files.
+	  4 possible variants of compression are: xpress4k, xpress8k, xpress16 and lzx.
+	  To read such "compacted" files say Y here.
It would be nice that we tell what is recommend. I think that this is recommend.
Of course if this use lot's of resource that is different story but I do not
think that is the case.

+	  and this option selects support for ACLs specifically for ntfs
+	  filesystems.
Same here. Let's suggest what user should do. Is this recommend if we wan't 
to use volume also in Windows?
