How do you partition a Win11 system?

In Windows 11, you can use the Disk Management tool to partition your hard drive. Here are the steps for partitioning a hard drive.

  1. Open the Disk Management tool. You can open the Disk Management tool by pressing the Win + X keys and then selecting “Disk Management.”
  2. In Disk Management, you will see a list of your hard drive and partitions.
  3. Select the hard drive you want to divide, right-click on it, and choose “Shrink Volume.”
  4. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the size (in MB) to be assigned to the new volume.
  5. Click the “collapse” button to shrink the selected volume.
  6. You will see the new unallocated space in Disk Management. Right-click on it and select “New Simple Volume”.
  7. In the new simple volume wizard, follow the instructions. You can choose the size, drive letter, and file system of the volume.
  8. After completing the wizard, you will see a new volume in disk management.

Please note that partitioning a hard drive will erase all data on it, so please make sure to back up important data before partitioning.
