Accepted Answer

Yes, there are some ways that you can create more drive partitions, even if you already have four. Before taking action to create more disk partitions, you should figure out what partition style your drive is - MBR or GPT. They differ in partition number: MBR can only create four primary partitions, while a GPT disk can make 128. Refer to the following link and check what partition table your drive is. Further Reading: How to Check If your drive is MBR or GPTSituation 1. You have an MBR driveIf your disk is MBR and you already have four partitions, you may find the New Simple Volume greyed out or receive a pop-up warning Disk already contains the maximum number of partitions. In this case, you can create more partitions by changing a primary partition to a logical one. You can use Disk Management, but this Windows built-in tool requires deleting a primary partition before creating a logical one, which will most likely cause data loss. EaseUS Partition Master allows you to create more partitions by converting the primary partition to a logical partition without losing data.
