How can I divide one partition into two in Windows 10

Yeah, dividing a partition sounds simple, but there are a few common errors that can trip you up — trust me. I’ve seen it happen. If you are going to divide one partition into two and if there’s not enough free space to shrink, the process might not work or could cause errors. Make sure you have enough unallocated space after shrinking. Like shutting down your PC or losing power mid-operation. That can corrupt your partitions or make your drive unreadable. Keep your computer plugged in and don’t mess with it while it’s working.

Windows’ built-in Disk Management is usually safe, but if you go for third-party tools to divide one partition into two, make sure they’re reputable. Some junk apps can mess things up. Sometimes Windows won’t let you shrink the system partition enough, or it causes issues. If that happens, using a bootable partition manager might be safer. Like choosing the wrong size or the wrong drive letter. Double-check everything before clicking “Finish” or “Apply.”
