How to partition the PC

If you want to separate the data on your computer, then it is a good idea to partition the hard drives . Doing the partition of units means dividing the hard disk into separate sections, each represented in Windows by a drive letter. This is useful in case you have a virus on your main hard drive and do not want to lose all your multimedia files, for example. Alternatively you can use a separate partition on your disk as your primary backup and you can keep it there, only the restore points.

Steps to follow:

one

Click on "Start", then "Control Panel", then "System and Security" and "Administrative Tools".

two

Double-click on "Computer Management". Enter the administrator password and click "OK".

3

Click on "Disk Management."

4

Click on an existing partition and click " Reduce volume " if you want to create partitions on the existing unit. Enter an amount to reduce the volume and click "Shrink."

5

Click on the empty space, without assigning the partition and click on "New simple volume." Select a drive letter and a space allocation for the partition. Click on "Next" and then "Format." Click "Next" and then, once the formatting is finished, click "Finish".

Tips
  • It is a very good way to avoid the loss of all files, if you get a virus in one of them.
