Command Prompt is a practical Windows built-in tool, but as you said, it is too complicated to operate, and any wrong move may cause severe damage to your data. Thus, this page collected two reliable methods to help you create a hard drive partition without data loss. Read on and see more details.

Way 1. Run EaseUS Partition Master

I will introduce the most efficient tool for disk partitioning - EaseUS Partition Master, an all-around third-party tool that enables users to manage the partitions on their drives better. Apart from creating disk partitions, EaseUS Partition Master can also assist you in resizing, deleting, and moving partitions. 

Before going through the detailed steps, you should create unallocated space on the target drive. If you already have, skip to the partition steps.

Here is how to partition your hard drive with EaseUS Partition Master:

Step 1. In the Partition Manager, right-click on the unallocated space of the target SSD and choose "Create."

Step 2. Set the partition size, drive letter, partition label, file system, and more in the "Advanced Settings." Click "OK" to determine.

Step 3. Finally, click "Execute 1 Task" and "Apply" to complete the partition process. (Repeat the steps to get more than one partition. )

Way 2. Use Disk Management

The complexity increases if you create partitions using Disk Management since you need to create them individually. Follow the step-by-step procedure below:

• Search and open Disk Management, right-click the partition with free space to choose "Shrink," and customize the size settings.
• Right-click the hard drive's unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume."
• Customize the size, drive letter, and file system, or accept the default settings and click "Next" after each move.
• When the above is done, click "Finish."
