How to create partition on computer or laptop running on windows

In this tutorial I will show you how to partition on computer hard drive without using any software. You can do partition on window 10 hard disk, windows 8 hard disc or windows 7 hard disk.

When you buy a new laptop or computer usually they come with only one hard disk partition named as “C”. but we would like to have more than one partition so we can place personal files separate from windows files.

 There could be some hidden partitions on the hard disk such as the "Recovery Partition" and some manufacturer specific partitions for system recovery and tools etc. if your computer came with a single accessible partition, you might want to create more partitions.

Firstly you might want to know what is hard disk partition?

Hard disk partitioning as the name indicates is the process of dividing a hard disk into partitions or logical disks on the same physical hard disk and treat each partition as a separate disk. Each of the partitions on the hard drive is treated by the computer as if they were different physical disk with it's own label.

Let us start with windows 10 first

• After selecting manage, a pop up will appear where you will see disk management, click on it.

• Once you have entered the amount you want to shrink the volume by, select Shrink
• It will take a while for it to shrink that partition, and when it does it will leave Unallocated Space that you can make a new partition out of
• To make the new partition out of the Unallocated Space, right click on that Space and select New Simple Volume. Follow the wizard in creating the partition size, drive letter, format volume until the process is complete.
