You can create a copy of a partition simply by selecting the partition you want to copy, select the free space where you want to copy the partition and then preview the size, location and type of the partition. And then finally click on Apply for the changes to take effect. Then drive C is selected and using the Move/Resize button we will allocate the free space to drive C. To do so we will first select the drive D and click on Move/Redize. We want to extend the partition size of C by 10 GB. Using the Resize feature you can increase or decrease the size of a partition. It runs on all Windows version from XP and above and works on both 32 and 64 bit versions. Minitool Partition Wizard is a compact software which provides amazing hard drive managing and data recovery capabilities. You can make use of the Windows native Disk Management Utility to do so but I know that most of us prefer to use a third party software to do so because of simpler user interfaces and many more features than those directly available in the Disk Management Utility. It is always suggested to keep your personal data in a separate drive from your OS in case you have to reinstall your OS after it has corrupted irreparably. It could be due to the need of an extra partition to manage an extra OS, merging to many small partitions, creating a recovery drive or simple just to change the letter of one of your partition.

There can be n number of reasons why one would want to tinker with their hard drive partitions.
