Follow this process: 

 

1. Search Computer Management in Search Box of Taskbar.

 

2 – Now, look in the left menu and under storage, there is disk management. Just Click on Disk Management. wait for few seconds for loading disk details.

Now, Right click on the required Drive you want to partition. For example, if you want to do a partition on Local Disk C, then right-click on it. Now, click on Shrink Volume.

 

3 – Now, a message will get displayed saying Querying space. After that , in next screen, you will be shown 3 details.

In the first fields, total size before shrink is written. (This is the current size of the Local disk)

In the 2nd field, the size of available shrink space in MB is written. This is the maximum size of hard drive you can create out of hard drive.

 

Now, the 3rd and most important field are your decision field, in which you have to put the size of the disk you want actually, keeping in mind the maximum limit in the second field.

 

Note: These details are in MB. To get an idea in GB, just divide them by 1000.

 

4 – Now, when you have made up your mind about the size of the hard drive you want to create, click on shrink button. Wait for few minutes. Please refrain yourself from any activities while in the middle of this operation.

 

5 – Now, the size you specified in step 4 just creates unallocated space on your PC. You have to create hard drive out of it and name it also.
Now, once the Unallocated space appears as shown above, just do a right-click on it and click on New simple volume. And a new sample Volume wizard will open up.

 

6 – Now, in the next screen , just specify the size of the hard drive. Click next.

 

7 – In the next screen, choose drive letter you want to name. You can Choose any letter.

 

8 – Choose file system in next screen. NTFS is recommended although you can select FAT32 also if you want. Also, edit New Volume and name it as you wish.

 

9 – In the next screen finally, click on finish to finish creation process.

Once you click finish, it will take few minutes to complete the process.

 

This is the easiest way to perform a Windows10Partition. 

 

I hope, it helps.

Hi

 

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST & Have you created Recovery Media?

 

There should be something like 4 partitions already in place, a tiny boot EFI, your C:\ and possibly 2 recovery areas.

 

If you alter, affect damage these Recovery Areas in any way you lose the potential to recover your system and may have to buy expensive Recovery Media.

 

I suggest you look, but don't touch, your partitions using Paragon etc.

 

https://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-express/   there are others but concentrate on one.

 

 

So please ask again when you have covered the point mentioned above.
