Guide on how to partition a hard drive on Windows 10

Disk Partition: What does it mean for Windows?

A new hard drive has to be initialized and partitioned before it can be used. A disk partition is an independent entity that a user may control and keep private data on for the operating system and the file system. Typically, a separate partition called "Local Disk" is made to house system data (C:).

This is convenient for computer and data security, because keeping important system information in one place makes it less likely you will accidentally delete or lose something. In addition, this section can be set to limited access, etc. In order to find out how many partitions there are on your computer, you can open Disk Management and see this information.

In addition, having several disk partitions will make it much easier for the user to manage computer data, as well as upload files, personal documents, or games to different disks with custom labels.
