Windows 10: Partition editor for windows 10

How do I edit partitions in windows 10? I got a USB to sata thing but I cannot see the drive via windows explorer. Also I think there might be a hidden restore partition that can restore the computer to factory settings but I cannot find it at the moment.

SHRINK C VOLUME TO SMALLER CAPACITY

I have the same issue. I have a brand new HP Envy 17t laptop and have put no files or apps on it. I tried to use Disk Management to shrink the C: system volume but it would only allow 50% shrink. I moved the pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys to another physical
drive, E:, but this made no difference. I can still only shrink the C: volume to 50%.

Perhaps the only solution is to use a third-party partition editor like easeus or mini Partition Editor.

If you have any other suggestions, let me know.

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 clean install stuck with no hard drive activity

Thanks for the advice.

I am unable to boot the previous version of Windows.

The story is, I was running Windows 8.1 and successfully upgraded to Windows 10, so I know my hardware & previous OS supports 10. After upgrading, I tried to do a reset, both through the "refresh your pc" menu and through a recovery disk. This
didn't work.

I have tried to do a clean install from a Windows 10 installation usb, but it crashes on the first reboot.

I wonder if my partition table is corrupt (and what that would mean?). I booted to a linux live cd and ran a partition editor to see what was going on there. It tells me my GPT is corrupt, but that it should work anyway.

Any ideas?

 

There are lots of free tools like Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free

 

Trying to get minitool free to see if that is what I want so thank you

 

Have you tried Windows Disk Management?

 

I could not find the mystery hidden partition.

 

I doubt the issue is due to hidden partitions.

Run this from admin command prompt and post image

diskpart

list disk

list volume
