How to Resize a Hard Drive Partition with Easeus

To get started, first download a copy of EASEUS Partition Master v8.0.1 Home Edition (Free) here.

1. Install the Easeus tool then open it up the same way as you open any other program.
2. On the main screen of the program, the bottom panel shows a list of available physical disks. The top panel displays the current partitions of the selected disk.
3. Click to select the disk which you want to re-partition. As you click, the top panel will refresh showing the availble partitions for this drive.
4. Right click on the partition which you want to resize. (You can right-click on the partition on either panel). Then select "Resize/Move Partition"
5. At the Resize/Move Partition screen, double-check once again that you picked the right partition to resize. Then, adjust the "Partition Size" to change its size.
   As you're adjusting this number, the partition shown at the bottom is also changing its size and a new Unallocated partition is created.                  
6. Once you're happy with the new size, click "OK".
7. Now exit the program. Upon the attempt to exit, you'll get a prompt to apply the changes and another prompt asking to reboot to execute the operation. Click "Yes" on both prompts. Windows will now restart.
8. At this time, you just need to sit back and wait. However, if you watch the screen, you'll notice that during Windows reboot, Easeus Partition tool will kick on and perform the changes. Once it's done, it will need to reboot a second time and then bring you back the normal Windows desktop. (At this time, you can either use Easeus or the Windows Disk Management tool to create a new partition for the new unallocated space you just made.)
