MiniTool Partition Wizard 8 review: A potent free partitioning toolkit

July 09, 2014

MiniTool's Partition Wizard is a highly competent partitioning toolkit that experienced users should have little difficulty getting up to speed with—largely because it looks and feels just like a half dozen others: toolbar, list of functions to the left, and a pane with drive information to the right. While familiar, the interface is particularly focused in its approach and exceptionally easy to use for basic operations. Good for the less experienced. However, its interface approach to some advanced operations such as merge and re-size could use a bit of work. Partition Wizard supports all the latest partition technologies such as Windows dynamic disks and GPT. As with most programs of its ilk, it queues commands such as convert (FAT to NTFS or vice versa), delete, merge, split, and wipe, then applies them all at once. Not only does this allow hands-free implementation of multiple commands on multiple drives, it allows you to review your choices—always a good idea when you're doing things that can kill data.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
