If you're comfortable with booting from a USB/CD and want a powerful, and versatile disk management tool for Windows 10, GParted is an excellent choice. However, if you prefer a software that runs within Windows without rebooting, then Windows Disk Management or third-party Windows applications might be more convenient.
Key points about GParted:
- Free and open-source.
- Suitable for advanced partition management tasks such as resizing, creating, deleting, and moving partitions.
- Works independently of Windows, so it can handle disks that Windows might have trouble with.
- Ideal for partition recovery, disk cloning, or managing disks that Windows cannot handle while running.
How does this disk management tool for Windows 10 work:
- Download the GParted Live image from GParted.org.
- Create a bootable USB or burn the ISO to a CD.
- Boot your PC from the USB or CD.
- Use the GParted interface to manage your disks.
