Partition Assistant displayed our system’s three physical disks (SSD, HDD, and USB) as well as each disk’s partitions. Partition Assistant’s blue tones, linear disk capacity displays, and toolbar make it a good fit for Office and similar suites, and the left-hand navigation panel and full menus not only display the program’s features but make it a cinch to access them. It works in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It can create, convert, hide, format, delete, wipe, resize, copy, split, merge, and move partitions, including altering existing partitions without data loss or corruption, on hard drives, flash drives, and similar storage devices. Until recently, most such tools have been premium software, but Aomei Partition Assistant Home Edition is a full-featured freeware disk management utility that can even be used commercially, which is great news for home and small businesses. Many people prefer to use a standalone disk management utility instead of the Windows Disk Manager for resizing and moving partitions, formatting disks, and other critical tasks.
