Computer Management online help..

Can I repartition my hard disk?

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.

Yes. It's possible in this version of Windows to repartition your hard disk by using the Shrink feature in Disk Management. You can shrink an existing partition or volume to create unallocated disk space, from which you can create a new partition or volume. (Often, the terms partition and volume are used interchangeably.)

1. 
   

   Click to open Computer Management.‌ If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

   
   


2. 
   

   In the Navigation pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.

   
   


3. 
   

   Right-click the volume you want to shrink, and then click Shrink Volume.

   
   


4. 
   

   Follow the instructions on your screen.
