How to partition a hard drive in Windows 11 without losing data?

The Partition Manager on Windows 11 - it's a good start, but not exactly the most comprehensive tool if you're looking to get serious about partitioning a new hard drive in Windows 11. Based on my experience, the Disk Management tool is a bit of a relic from the past. It's been around for ages, and it shows. The interface is clunky, and it can be overwhelming to navigate if you're new to partitioning. I mean, where's the modern touch? It's like trying to solve a puzzle with a bunch of cryptic icons.

Another thing that gets my goat is that it's super limited when it comes to advanced features. You can't create complex disk configurations or even convert file systems (e.g., from NTFS to FAT32). It's basically just a simple partition manager with some basic functions. If you're looking for more advanced features, like dynamic disk management or GPT support, you'll be out of luck.

And don't even get me started on the user interface. It's like they took a 1990s-era UI design and slapped it onto a modern OS. The menu options are buried, and the window layout is just plain weird. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put the "Disk Cleanup" option in the "File" menu? It's like they're trying to make it harder for you to find what you need.
