When
you bought a new Laptop or PC, the hard drive may be 500GB, 1 TB or
something. It may have only one partition (C: \ drive) or two
drives C and D. The first thing you need to do is to make
partitioning of the C drive.
Disk
partitioning is essentially separating the hard disk into different
sections or parts for storage. Separate
partition of hard disk makes you manage your files conveniently in a
more efficient way.
Note.
Before doing this it is recommended to make a backup of
your System Files. I
used AOMEI Backupper.
There
are mainly two methods to make hard disk partition in Windows 8.1,
namely
Disk
Management and a third-party free partition manager software. I
prefer the third-party software because it is much more easier to
handle and has more features.
I
will explain you how to use “AOMEI
Partition Assistant” a
third-party software.
AOMEI
Partition Assistant is a professional and advanced partition
software, not only includes basic features, but also advanced
features, such as Move Partition, Merge Partition, Disk Copy Wizard, etc.
Step1: Install
AOMEI
Partition Assistant Standard Edition
in
your system.
Step2: Launch
the program and right
click on C drive and select Create Partition option.
In
the pop-up window, adjusting the new partition size manually by
dragging the slider bar leftwards or rightwards or entering the exact
size. In addition, you can enter a partition label, select partition
type (Primary or Logical) and file system by clicking "Advanced>>"
option.
Step3: Click
"OK". You can see that Windows 8.1 hard drive has a new
partition. Click "Apply" to complete the operations.
