Let’s start off my defining what a “Partition” is exactly.
Your computer has a physical hard drive (or if you’re like me, you have a few physical drives). The storage space in physical drives is split into parts, depending on your needs – these parts are called “partitions”. Much like in the real world, to partition is to split into parts.
To the average user, there’s a single physical hard drive, and on that hard drive is a single partition – on a Windows computer, it’s called the C: Drive.
Similarly to a Filing cabinet, and each partition being a drawer in that cabinet.
It’s really not a good idea to mess with partitions. If you manage to delete or somehow corrupt a partition, it’s very easily to lose everything on it. Thinking of our filing cabinet, you’d quite possibly be throwing out an entire draw, and it’s contents.
There are times though, that you need to manage partitions – if you want to upgrade your hard drive from a mechanical drive to a Solid State Drive (SSD), you’ll need to take the entire partition from one physical drive and clone it to another.
It’s not a case of copy and paste, there are often tens of thousands of files to move, they all have to be in the right place, at the right time – and you can’t always see all of the files.
That’s why there’s software made just for that. For example, to clone Windows 10 to SSD you can download the EaseUS Partition Manager software, and with a couple of clicks through a very simple wizard, you select where you want the data to go, where you want it to go from, and very soon you have a blazing fast Windows 10 SSD, and you’ll never look back.
Of course, you can use the software to migrate from HDD (Hard Disk Drive) to another HDD if you’d like – maybe you’re upgrading the space you have available on your computer.
Either way, it makes it all terribly easy.
I’ve been using EaseUS software in one capacity or another for quite some time. The Data Recovery tool has really come through for my customers in the past.
With any Partition Management tool you should actually be able to manage your computer partitions. Even after all these years, Microsoft hasn’t made it very easy to figure out what is what as far as multiple disk partitions go. EaseUS partition Manager makes Windows 10 Disk Management easy with a friendly, intuitive, informative interface. It can do so much more than your built in disk manager too. For example – merging, and moving partitions, recovering partitions, labeling partitions, and creating WinPE Bootable disks. It’s great!
Anyway, check out all that the EaseUS Partition Manager can do for you. Decide whether you want the Free version, or the pro version.
