  1. Partitioning the Windows 10 Pro installation hard drive


    Hello,


    I called on the Microsoft community to ask for your opinion on installing Windows 10 Pro. Dear Sir / Madam Please tell me when I install Windows 10 Pro and get to the partitions (partitioning) the document partition is the first but I want the Windows partition to be the first.
    How can I do the partition reversal to be the first one with Windows and not the document partition.
    I am waiting for an answer from you in this regard !!!
    Thank you!!!
    A good day!!!

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    Partition or multiple hard drives?

    As the title suggests. Is it worth installing say a 36GB drive for the OS soley or partitioning an existing larger drive with either 2 or more partitions? I am currently running Vista 32bit and want to try out 64bit and am sick of reformatting the whole drive. Any suggestions?

    Hard drive partitioning

    I partition during a windows install...granted I only format the OS partition during that setup, format the other partition(s) after OS install. Works fine fore me, XP and Vista installs both have worked fine for years doing this, otherwise, Partition Magic does the trick.
