How to split c drive into multiple drives in Windows 11 or Windows 10?
howreudoin You can easily split c drive in Windows 11 by creating a recovery disk. Please use Windows' built-in tool to create a recovery disk or USB drive by searching for “Create a recovery drive” in the Start menu. Insert the recovery disk or USB into your computer, restart it, and make sure to boot from the recovery media
Once you boot from the recovery disk, navigate to the recovery options. Choose “Troubleshoot,” then “Advanced options,” and select “Command Prompt.” Type "select partition X", replacing X with the partition number of the C drive, and press Enter. Then, type shrink desired=SIZE, where SIZE is the amount of space (in MB) you wish to shrink the C drive. For example, to shrink by 20,000 MB (about 20 GB), type shrink desired=20000 and press Enter.
After shrinking, you’ll see unallocated space. To create a new partition, type create partition primary size=SIZE, replacing SIZE with the amount of space you wish to allocate for the new partition.
