Free Partition Software for Windows laptop and desktop
Hard disk drive is a must have component of a computer. To improve computer performance, you may replace the traditional mechanical HDD with SSD (solid-state drive). Besides using advanced storage device, you should manage and maintain the disk drives regularly. To do this, Windows native Disk Management is a choice, but it can only do some basic operations such as create, delete, format partition and change drive letter. If you want to do extra advanced operations, you need professional partition management software, which can resize, move, merge, convert, defrag, wipe, scan partition, etc.
Some modern OS such as Windows 10, 8, 7 can shrink and extend volume without extra software, however the functionalities are limited and in most cases third party partitioning software is still needed.
