Currently, one of the most popular operating systems is Windows 7. In addition to reliability, an intuitive interface and wide customization options, the advantages of this OS include a fairly simple installation on a computer's hard drive. It is almost automated. During the installation process, you just need to select a few options. But if you are installing this Windows on a computer you just purchased, you will need to create partitions during the installation process. If you have not done this, then after this procedure you will find only one section.

Computer with Windows 7
Instructions
Step 1
With the help of additional software, you can not only partition your hard drive into new partitions, but also create new partitions if you already have several partitions. First, you need to install the Norton PartitionMagic program on your computer (you need to download it starting with version 8.0). Install the program on the hard disk of your computer and then run it.
Step 2
First thing you need to do is allocate free space. Select in the program window the partition from which you will take disk space for the new partitions of the hard disk. In order to select it, click on it with the left mouse button. Then, in the program menu, select "Size / Move Partition", and in the "New Size" line, set the amount of memory for this partition. All freed up memory will be available for their creation.
Step 3
In the upper left corner of the main menu, there is the "Task selection" item. At this point, select the function "Create a new section". In the first window, read the introductory information and move on. Now if you have only one section, in the next window, click "After C" (sometimes the letter of the section may be different). If you have several sections, then you need to select "After" and select the letter of the section that was created last. For example, if there are two sections, then the last section will default to D, unless, of course, you changed the letter. Then click Next twice.
Step 4
Now, in the "Partition Properties" window, specify the partition type, amount of memory, file system type and partition letter. Click Next. In the next window, click Finish. The computer should reboot, if not, please reboot yourself. After that, the new section will become available. In this way, you can partition your hard drive into the required number of partitions.
