How to partition your hard disk drive in Windows 11

A partition is a self-contained logical division on a hard disk drive. It is treated as a separate unit by the operating system and file system. Each partition can have its own file system and can be formatted differently. This allows users to organize their data and files more efficiently and securely.

Benefits to partitioning a hard disk:

Data organization:

Partitions can be used to separate different types of data, such as operating system files, personal files, and work files. This can make it easier to find and manage your files.

Security:

Partitions can be used to isolate sensitive data, such as financial records and personal files. This can help to protect your data from unauthorized access, even if the computer is compromised.

Performance:

Partitioning can improve performance in some cases. For example, if you have a separate partition for your operating system, the computer may boot up faster.

Solution:

Step 1:

Right Click on "This PC"

Step 2:

Click on "Manage"

Step 3:

Click on "Disk Management"

Step 4:

In the Disk Management console, right-click the drive from which you are going to separate storage space for the new partition, and then select Shrink Volume.

Step 5:

A new window opens. Locate the field labeled Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB.

(1) Type in the amount of space that you want to allocate for the new partition.

Note: Ensure that you type in the value in MB instead of GB. For example, if you need 100 GB, type in “102400” (1 GB = 1024 MB).

(2) Click Shrink.

Step 6:

In the Disk Management console, locate the unallocated area that has just been separated. Right-click the unallocated area and select New Simple Volume.

Step 7:

The New Simple Volume Wizard opens. Click Next.
