Nowadays, the new computer will pre-install the Win7 system. Usually, the hard disk has only one partition of the C disk, which is too inconvenient to use. It is necessary to re-partition the hard disk. When it comes to partitioning, many users may first think of partitioning software such as PQ. In fact, in Win7, you don't need to use any third-party software, and you don't need to enter the command prompt to type various commands. You can use the system under the Windows interface. Bring your own tools for partitioning. Click the “Start” button and right-click on the “Computer” option in the Start & rdquo; menu and select “Manage” from the pop-up menu.

Detecting new disk partitions
In some cases it may be necessary to adjust the total capacity of the C drive, such as the notebook that was just purchased with the Windows 7 operating system pre-installed. If there is only one C drive partition, and the capacity of the partition is large, resulting in less space for other allocable disks, you can solve the problem by using the "Compression" function in the disk management tool.
Select the C drive partition in the disk management interface, and right click to select the "Compress Volume" option.

Entering the amount of compressed space
By default, the disk management tool will automatically fill in the maximum amount of space available for compression in the “Enter Compressed Space” input box, which can be changed by yourself. After determining the amount of space to be compressed, click the "compress" button, the disk management tool will compress the partition, and wait a moment to see the compressed partition and the unallocated space released by the compressed partition. The size is equal to the amount of compressed space set during compression.
