How to Create Unallocated Partition in windows 10 | কিভাবে হার্ড ডিস্কের পার্টিশন তৈরী করবেন

Creating an unallocated partition on your Windows 10 system can be useful for various purposes, such as setting up a new partition for data storage or preparing for an operating system installation. An unallocated partition is essentially space on your hard drive that has not been assigned to any partition, which allows you to create new partitions as needed. This article provides a detailed guide on how to create an unallocated partition in Windows 10.

Understanding Unallocated Space

Before diving into the steps, it’s important to understand what unallocated space is. Unallocated space refers to parts of your hard drive that do not belong to any partition. It’s not currently formatted or assigned a drive letter, so it’s not usable until you create a new partition or extend an existing one into it.

Prerequisites

1. Backup Important Data: Before making any changes to your partitions, ensure that all important data is backed up. Modifying partitions can sometimes lead to data loss if not done correctly.

2. Administrative Rights: You need administrative privileges to create or modify partitions.

Steps to Create an Unallocated Partition in Windows 10

1. Open Disk Management

1. Press Windows Key + X to open the Power User menu.
2. Select Disk Management from the list.

2. Shrink an Existing Partition

If you already have an existing partition with unused space that you want to turn into unallocated space, you can shrink it. Here’s how:

1. In the Disk Management window, locate the partition you want to shrink. It should be displayed along with other partitions on your disk.

2. Right-click on the partition you wish to shrink and select Shrink Volume.

3. The system will calculate how much space you can shrink. Enter the amount of space you want to free up (in MB). This space will be used to create unallocated space. Click Shrink.

4. After the process completes, you will see unallocated space on your disk in the Disk Management window.

3. Create a New Partition (Optional)

If you want to create a new partition from the unallocated space, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the unallocated space that appeared after shrinking the volume.

2. Select New Simple Volume from the context menu.

3. The New Simple Volume Wizard will start. Click Next to proceed.

4. Specify the size of the new volume. If you want to use all the available unallocated space, just keep the default value. Click Next.

5. Assign a drive letter to the new partition or accept the default. Click Next.

6. Choose the formatting options:

   • File System: NTFS is generally recommended for most users.
   • Allocation Unit Size: Default is usually fine.
   • Volume Label: Enter a name for the new partition.

7. Ensure the option Perform a quick format is checked (for faster formatting). Click Next.

8. Review the settings and click Finish to create the new partition.

4. Verify the Changes

1. Go back to the Disk Management window to ensure that your new partition is created and formatted properly.

2. You should see the new partition listed along with other partitions, and it should have the drive letter and label you assigned.

Conclusion

Creating an unallocated partition in Windows 10 is a straightforward process if you follow these steps carefully. Whether you are freeing up space from an existing partition or setting up a new partition, Disk Management provides an easy-to-use interface for managing your drives. Remember to always back up important data before making changes to your disk partitions to prevent accidental data loss. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, consider consulting with a professional or referring to detailed guides specific to your system configuration.
