Make partitions in you hard drive

0 comments
Ques. Why partition your hard drive?
Ans. Having 2-3 partitions in your hard drive is advantageous. In case your windows crashes, your data will be saved. Also you can install multiple Operating Systems on your Hard drive if you have partitons on it (Note: not more than 2 different OS should be unstalled, or the system becomes slow)

If you have a single drive partition, go here to create partions (you will have to reinstall windows).

To create partions without having to reinstall Windows, follow these steps:
* Go to Control Panel >> Administrative tools >> Computer Management >> Storage >> Disk Management

* Right click on C:/ >> click on shrink volume >> (wait for windows to show the amount of disk space that can be shrinked) >> enter the space(in MBs) you want to allocate to the new disk partition >> click on "shrink"
