How to partition a hard drive from Windows 10 without losing data?
Hey everyone! I'm looking to reorganize my computer's storage by partitioning my hard drive, but I'm pretty nervous about losing all my files in the process. I've heard it's possible to do this safel...
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.
