howreudoin Steps to split C drive into multiple drives using Disk Management app. This can be applied to Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 7:
- In the Disk Management window, find your C drive and right-click on the C drive and select "Shrink Volume." The system will take a moment to query the disk for available space.
- Specify the amount of space you want to shrink in megabytes (MB) by entering a value in the dialog box.
- Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume." The New Simple Volume Wizard will open. Click "Next," specify the volume size (you can use the maximum size or a smaller amount), and click "Next" again.
- Choose a drive letter for the new partition from the dropdown list and click "Next." Review your settings and click "Finish" to complete the operation.
- The Disk Management utility will create the new partition, and it should now appear in File Explorer as a separate drive.
