- Sep 07, 2025
For a super easy and safe way to partition a hard drive from Windows 10 without the stress, I'd totally recommend checking out a tool like Dr.Partition. It can resize and create partitions without touching your data, I've been using it for 2 years, highly recommended!

Of course. Here's a short guide based on my own experience.
After backing up my crucial files to an external hard drive for safety, I used the built-in Windows Disk Management tool to partition a hard drive from Windows 10. I right-clicked the Start button, selected "Disk Management," then right-clicked my main drive (C:) and chose "Shrink Volume" to create unallocated space. From there, I right-clicked the new unallocated space and selected "New Simple Volume" to format it into a new partition. The process was straightforward and my data remained perfectly intact.
