Hey you and welcome! my name is Mr. Berry and this whole video I'm going to be looking at
a mini tool that basically works with our petitions and it's something that we use
in my a plus certification class and basically it makes life really easy for us because as you know
there's many ways or many different tools that you can actually use to repetition or resize
or even check your hard drives on a windows machine so this one tool i'm going to be using
and showing you today is i'm going to be showing you the free version but there are other versions
too that you can actually pay into and unlock other features if you need those other features so
let's look at this me tool you and i come on and here's the mini tool partition wizard introduction
here and again this is something that we have been using in the a plus certification class so
it is quite useful the main tool partition wizard is a professional reliable partition manager for
windows users to optimize disk usage and protect your data it is a multi-functional tool with over
50 features it can manage your partitions and your disk in all aspects from partition creation
to even data recovery and to system migration the minitool partition wizard is also a multi-lingual
tool which has it in english japanese german french italian korean spanish and portuguese
so the main features that we've seen in this mini tool
are os migration this migrates the operating system from one system to another one for example
let's say you're upgrading your hard disk drive to something faster such as a solid state drive
and you need to migrate the operating system from the old hard drive to the new one well guess what
it does it for you really easily and so this is actually something that we've used in class
next it also does disk recovery and what it'll do is it'll do a deep scan of the hard drive to
recover lost petitions as well as files that have been saved but yet lost on a hard drive
you'll also do partition and volume management so it'll create delete partitions it can merge
or even split your partitions resize and move and extend partitions without losing any of your data
which really comes in handy next it does disk and partition checking so let's say that you're having
issues with a particular hard drive or solid state drive and you think something could be wrong there
you can actually run the tool and it'll explore the petition check the file system you'll check
for any bad sectors and then analyze the free partition space it'll even test your drive speed
another thing it does is disk partition and then conversion so you notice you have a master boot
record and gpt conversion it will allow you to do that it goes from a dynamic to basic
disk conversion you can actually do a fat32 to an ntfs conversion which is really handy
when you're going from an older system to a newer hard drive or a newer system
primary partition and it will actually check your logical partition and conversion
next it also has a bootable media maker so allow you to create a bootable media such as a
on a usb flash drive and when you're having issues with the operating system you just pull out
the usb thumb drive that you've created using this tool and then it can resolve multiple disk issues
now this is great if the system totally fails to boot and you can't get into your operating
system in any other way other things that we've really come to appreciate in
class would be it allows you to rebuild the mbr you know check disk properties
now it does support all kinds of hard drives so it supports the older hard drives that we see in
class as well as the newer solid state drives that my students have been buying recently it
also supports those hybrid drives which have a small solid-state drive partition with a larger
hard drive petition it supports flash drives sd cards and even virtual disk partitions
it supports raid and also any types of storage space that you might have on your operating
system as far as supported file systems it supports ntfs fat fat32 and even extended
fat partitions it also sees the ext2 ext 3 and 4 and it works with the linux swap
now there are 9 editions of the mini tool partition wizard there's the free one and that's
actually the one that we use a great deal in class and if they really need to they can upgrade to one
of these other versions and have those features as well the mini tool partition wizard free
which again which what we usually use in class is an all-in-one free petition magic program allowing
you to manage your partitions and your hard drives within your windows pc for better space usage you
can use it to resize shrink extend merge split align or even create format delete or even wipe
pull partitions in addition you can also use it to benchmark a hard drive or any types of storage
whether it be a hard drive with a spinning platter or a solid state drive it can analyze your disk
space and copy non-system disk as well as the look at the active partition and even rebuild your mbr
if you're having issues with a hard drive it can also convert the older fat systems to the newer
ntfs so it is a great tool that we've been using in class and i do recommend it for
the my students out there and also for my subscribers that hey if you need a free tool
this is the one to go with here for the free mini tool partition wizard pro
now like i said there are other additions if you need the other features and such as the
pro and beyond just in case i didn't mention it it does work with windows
xp vista windows 7 windows 8 windows 10 and even windows 11 which is awesome
hey so there you have it now you know of a really good tool that will go in and merge
partitions split partitions or even check your partitions for you on a windows computer
now one way that we actually use this in class is we use it to check hard drives and
solid state drives to see if there's something wrong with them so let's say that a student
brings in a machine into class and says hey something's going on here we can check it for
viruses we can check it for other problems that are happening both hardware or software and if we
feel that the problem is within the hard drive or any of the storage devices in that machine
then this is the tool that we actually use to check and make sure that that machine is
working properly because not only will check it but it can also go in and fix issues for
you so it's really a handy little application that we've been using there in class and hey before i
