Video Guide
- Part #A. Resize, shrink, move, extend, and merge partitions without data loss (Resizing BitLocker is included)
- Part #B. Delete partition, delete recovery partition, create new partitions, and partition a disk
- Part #C. Convert to GPT, FAT32 format, dynamic to basic
- Part #D. Clone disks/USBs: Clone to a larger disk (including OS), a smaller disk, or from MBR to GPT disk, convert MBR to GPT
Note: Please run “Optimize Filesystem” and “Defragment” in advance to ensure the disk or partition is in good condition. Partition Resizer provides built-in features for copying disks/partitions, as well as optimizing the file system and defragmenting. To access these options, right-click the target disk or partition.
