Is It Better to Create a New Partition to Keep and Separate Data From the Operating System

I want to split the disk into two partitions in order to keep my data files from the system file. To prevent my files from being deleted, I am looking at a reliable way of disk partitioning before I install Windows. Any idea?

Yes, creating a new partition is better for keeping and separating data from the operating system. Generally, the hard drive will come with one partition on it. However, having all kinds of files on one drive poses a high risk to data security. Now, let me introduce some main merits of disk partitioning:

• Data organization: You won't take long to find files since they are well-organized according to your preference.
