Best free disk partition software for Windows 10

Unlike other free partition software for Windows 10/8/7 that design trap by disabling some functions or bundles plugins and advertisements, NIUBI Partition Editor free edition is 100% free for all home users and 100% clean without any plugins. Furthermore, it has many advanced technologies.

1. Special moving algorithm

Sometimes when you shrinking a partition towards right or moving a partition, all files in this partition must be moved to new locations. It is a heavy work and costs much time if there are large amount of files. A good algorithm is very important to reduce time. Because of its unique file-moving algorithm, NIUBI Partition Editor Free is 30% to 300% faster than other free and commercial partition software.

2. Cancel-at-will

When you resizing or moving partition, other disk partition software including commercial version doesn't allow canceling even if you did something wrong. Because the cancellation causes part of the parameters unable to be modified, then system and/or data will be damaged. Similarly, you cannot forcedly terminate the programs with ongoing operations or reboot the computer manually even if the computer is running slowly because of low CPU/RAM.

Thanks to the unique Cancel-at-will technology, while running NIUBI you can cancel the ongoing operations at any progress without losing data. In addition, cancellation will be done in a flash without waiting a long time to revert.

3. Virtual mode

Windows Disk Management take effect of the modifications immediately, but, what to do if you did something wrong? To avoid mistake, NIUBI Partition Editor is designed to work in virtual mode and all your operations will be listed as pending for preview. If you find any incorrect operations, simply click Undo on top left to cancel. Nothing will be modified until you click "Apply" button to confirm.

4. Hot resize

Many skilled computer users heard about hardware hot-exchange that is to prevent server interruption. To a personal computer, it is not as important as a server to keep online, but why not complete partition resizing without rebooting, especially when you have other tasks to do? With the help of Hot-Resize technology, NIUBI Partition Editor has less possibility to reboot computer. (Close other running applications and opening files/folders in the partition that you want to modify before starting NIUBI.)

5. Easy to use

You just need to click, drag and drop on the disk map to modify disk partitions, anyone can use this free partition software well for your Windows 10 laptop or desktop. Watch the video guide how to operate.

6. 1-Second Rollback

There are many precious files in your computer such as family photos/videos, work documents/projects, but there is potential system damage and data loss risk when resizing disk partitions or do other operation. NIUBI Partition Editor has unique 1 Second Rollback technology to protect system and data. It reverts the computer to original status automatically and rapidly if it detects any error. (To ensure 100% safety, it's suggested to clone disk/partition at first with NIUBI.)

This technology and bootable media builder is not included in the free edition, this is the only difference with paid edition.
