The free version of Paragon Partition Manager allows to do important operations when working and managing hard disk. Create, format, delete, move or resize partitions, change file system from NTFS to FAT32 and reverse. Surprisingly, even Paragon has a tradition in making software for Windows, this application has an old and pretty hard to use interface and i will recommend it only for advanced users that have experiences in partitioning and managing hard disk space. The application offers more features for paid upgrades.
1. Interface
It looks a little old, but there are fewer options than similar products and that makes it easier to use. Just select operation that you want to perform: create, resize, format or delete.
2. Create a new partition
Once you select an operation, the program will go quickly to perform the task. The steps are not very intuitive and i would not recommend for a novice user. Pressing “Next” will go directly to creating partition, with no confirmation before.
3. Full scale interface
Pressing “Full scale launcher” it shows a more friendly interface. Pressing on a drive partition will reveal more options and actions to perform
