Download Partition Magic Alternative Software to Resize Partition under Windows 10
Partition Magic Can't Resize Windows 10 Partition
Partition Magic, developed by Symantec, was a popular partition resize software under Windows 98, 2000, and XP, but it has not been updated since being acquired by Symantec and is now unstable, potentially causing problems or system crashes when resizing partitions, even under Windows 10.
I strongly recommend against using it to resize Windows 10 partitions, but I will show you how to resize Windows 8 partitions with a partition magic alternative, Qiling Partition Master Free Edition (Freeware), in this article.
Use Partition Magic Alternative to Resize Windows 10 Partition for Free
Qiling Partition Master Free Edition is a partition magic alternative tool that offers a simple and convenient way to manage your partitions, running smoothly on Windows 10. It enables you to extend the system partition, create, delete, resize/move, copy, merge, or split partitions, making it a reliable solution for partition management under Windows 10.
Step 1. Shrink partition to free up space to extend partition.
If the hard drive has enough unallocated space to extend the target partition, jump to step 2. Otherwise, free up space first.
- To resize or move the target partition, click on the partition next to it and select the "Resize/Move" option.
- Drag the partition ends to free up space, leaving enough unallocated space behind the target partition, then click "Proceed".
Step 2. Extend target partition.
Click on the target partition and select "Resize/Move".
To extend the target partition, you need to drag the partition handle into the unallocated space. This will increase the size of the partition by using the available space.
Step 3. Keep all changes.
Click the "Proceed" to keep all changes.
