GParted

GParted (GNOME Partition Editor) is a free, open-source program that gives the user more control over the disks of their computer. It enables the user to alter disk partitions graphically. On Windows PCs it is used through GParted Live, a small bootable Linux system that runs from a CD or USB drive, so it suits any user who wants to manage disks outside the running system.

GParted allows the user to create, delete, resize, move, copy and check partitions, for example to free up space for another system. It also allows the user to grow or shrink their C: drive, which is possible because the drive is not in use while GParted Live runs. It also offers an Attempt Data Rescue function that tries to find lost partitions and copy data from them. The multiple features that come with this program are powerful, and they suit medium to experienced users of the computer. It is a bit confusing for a beginner, but they too could use this program after a few sessions.

GParted Live needs at least 1 GB of RAM to use all features of the program and runs on x86-64 computers. The ISO image is about 500 MB, which makes it a quick and simple download. Plus, the hardware needed to use the program is very typical, so it's compatible with most Windows computers out there. Overall, this program is perfect for users who want to change their disk partitions and have a little more control over their computer.
