Then Click "OK".For advanced settings. In the popup window, by clicking the Advanced button, you could specify partition label, partition type (Primary/Logical) to the new partition. More advantage is that if you are using Solid State Drive (SSD), you could align the partition by selecting SSD partition alignment. It could help you speeding up Solid State Drive's (SSD) read and write speeds, improving SSD performance.
- Immediately click System -> Apply -> Proceed to execute the splitting operation.
Note:
- When there are four primary partitions on a disk, if you want to split one of them, the partition that is being splitted will be converted to logical partition automatically.
- If one disk has four primary partitions, the program does not allow you to split the system partition or boot partition. Here, you could convert one of other partitions from primary to logical partition, and then the program will allow you to split system partition.
