How To Partition Your Laptop's Drive
Partitioning you PC means dividing your PC's drive for example if you drive is 500GB
you could partition it to 350GB and 150GB.
You might want to partition you drive if you want to for example,
dual boot you pc (install two different versions of windows),
you might also want to move your files to a different partition so that you
can update windows without loosing your files,
you may want to have more drives on your PC,
or just for other reasons i might not know they are just known to you.
(but i don't advice having more than 4 or 5 drives or partitions it might
affect your PC. Though am not certain it will).
So now we are going to work with 2GB.
Firstly you could right click on the windows icon or tap windows key + x
you should see this. Then click disk management
This should now open.
Now, right click on the drive you want to shrink for example i want to shrink
windows(c:)
and click on shrink volume
Put in the amount you want to shrink (since 1GB = 1024MB therefore 2GB = 2048MB)
in the box that is highlighted(3rd box)
and click shrink.
You should now see it like this
Then right click on it and click "new simple volume"
Now, the new simple volume wizard will then click next
It will then ask you to specify the volume size now leave it as default like
in this picture and click next (don't reduce the value)
You will now see this picture below you can just leave it like this or just change
the drive letter and click next
Then tick the radio button i highlighted as 1
leave file system to be "ntfs"
allocation size unit to default
in volume label write the name you want to give to your new drive
tick perform a quick format.
(if yours is default like the picture below just leave it like that)
and click next
Here you can just press finish it will be done.
You can now see it here
