Installing MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Features, Windows Disk Management won't offer.

There is also a recovery function to find lost partitions. MiniTool Partition Wizard provides comprehensive disk partition management functions such as Merge Partition, Move/Resize Partition, Copy Partition, Create Partition, Split Partition, Delete Partition, Format Partition, and Convert File System. On the download site I've seen also an offer to upgrade from Free Edition to to Partition Wizard Professional Edition for only $ 29.00.

But wait, this tool is also useable for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (I guess, the web site isn't up to date).Ī commercial licence for MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition is available for 39.00 US $, a lifetime upgrade costs 59.00 US $. MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition supports, according the the website, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista (older OS versions are mentioned, but are no more relevant, because Microsoft has stopped Support for Windows 2000 or Windows XP years ago). The Free Edition of this tool is offered for private and non commercial use at this website. But I wasn't fully satisfied – so I gave Mini Tool Partition Wizard Free a shot. There are other third party partition tools (see EaseUS Partition Master 10.8 with GPT bug fix). As shown in a blog post tomorrow, Windows Disk Management has also a few bugs that could lead into trouble. But changing partitions without loosing data are not supported. The Windows Disk Management tool or the command diskpart provides basic partition features. Sometimes users are in need to repartitioning disks in Windows.
