EaseUS Partition Master

This comes bundled with a lot of advertisement crap. Be sure to select advanced install and deselect all but the core feature.

I was able to expand (resize larger) my system partition (C: where Windows lies) to use unallocated space. I made the change, applied it, it rebooted my computer and did the change and came backup fine. It wasn't slow at all, but the drive I expanded was an SSD.

Didn't see any bundleware included and did custom install. Works good and got done what Windows 10 wont do (expand system drive). :)

Oh and it installed v13.8, just as a note.

Allowed me to change my 4TB External HDD from MBR to GPT w/o data loss. Comes with adds that can't be opted out of during install.

The free edition of this software allowed me recently to shrink my system partition when Minitool, which I had been uting for years, failed (ntfsresize.cpp errors upon reboot, making the resizing fail).

I hate this app. I installed it to expand partition on my ssd and it took like 40 minutes to expand 17 gb of disk space. It's really really slow and the bad thing is that it also doesn't allow you to cancel the operation.

The free version is really slooooooooooow. It also says so on the product's website. That's probably why then don't give you an estimate while copying partitions, let alone MB/s stats.

I have tested the program (Home version) to extend a FAT32 partition and the programs hangs up on the 35%. I also tried with an usb, and happens the same.

EaseUS Partition Master is better than Window's built-in partition manager in every single way. It has plenty of features (including hard drive cloning, my personal favorite), the interface is logically designed, and its color scheme doesn't look half-bad either. It's nice to have a decent partition manager on Windows, so that I don't have to boot with my GParted bootCD every time I want to edit any of my hard disk partitions effectively.

Today (september, 2) have a free version of professional edition in giveawayoftheday (sorry for my english)

You cannot create a bootable CD to manage partitions with the free Home Edition

I see 2 disadvantages:
(a) You can only create a bootable CD to manage partitions with the Professional Edition, not for free.
If you need an application for partition editing usable for free with a bootable CD or working also with 64 bit operating systems, you must use Partition Wizard:
http://alternativeto.net/desktop/partition-wizard/
(b) After installation you have a directory C:\program, which the german Windows 10 prof. 64 bit suggests to rename to C:\program1, otherwise Windows-10-functions could be disturbed. But after renaming te directory EaseUS Partition Master doesn't work.

The reason for me to use EaseUS Partition Master was, that it is able to clone a bitlocker-locked partition. Because of the problem-directory C:\program I uninstalled EaseUS Partition Master and installed MiniTool Drive Copy, which also can clone a bitlocker-locked partition.

More powerful on resizing NTFS partitions than Parted appears to be.

• One of best partition manager with bulk action
• The free “Home Edition” cannot convert dynamic disk to basic disk and resize dynamic disks, This comes bundled with a lot of advertisement crap. Be sure to select advanced install and deselect all but the core feature.
