In this tutorial we will teach you how to create partitions on a hard disk using the Windows 10 operating system, which is widely used today, but in previous versions of Windows it works the same way. You can use any hard drive for external USB drives or pen drives, and really you don't even need to delete the details kept inside.
Make room before creating a split
This step is only required if you want to use a disk that already has data inside. In this case, you will need to "reduce" the volume, using the remaining free space to create the partition and use it later.
To do this, you have to reach out Windows Disk Management 10, and for this just click the Start button and select "Disk Management".
A window will open that will show you a list of all computer-connected warehouses at the top, with a visual order of their volume and subdivision. You must select the disk you want to use to create the partitions, right-click and select "Decrease volume".
A wizard will open, asking us how much we want to release. In our example, it's a 480GB SSD with a free 286GB; However, Windows always suggests leaving plenty of free space on the remaining separator. With this, we will leave free space without varying the size we choose.
As soon as the volume is reduced, we will see that in the lower part it appears on the hard disk to select the blue area with the name that the wing had, and the black area to its right that will say "Allocated".
Create a partition on the hard drive
Now we're going to use that "undivided space" to create all the episodes we want. We can also do this with the new hard disk we installed on the PC, because the universe will appear as "not shared". Just click on that dark area and select "New Simple Volume …".
A helper will appear, who will first ask us how much we like the volume. By default it will be used to use all available unassigned space, but we can add a little more if we want to make more splits.
In the following steps the user will ask us if we want to install a particular drive directory, what file system we should use and what name we want to assign. We recommend that you leave everything as it is except the volume label, where you have to write the name to specify what the partition will be used for.
We can repeat this process while there is still unallocated space, and we will create a different partition each time.
Once this is done, in this Group We will see each defeat we have created as if it were an independent drive, each with its name and size selected when creating the partition.
