Way 2. Create a New Partition With Disk Management

Using the Disk Management tool is perhaps one of the solid options for most users. It's a built-in tool provided by Windows that you can complete many disk tasks, such as deleting the NTFS partition. However, you should format the hard disk after creating a partition. Here is how to do it:

• Disk format may cause data loss, so back up the whole target drive before making a new partition.
• Right-click on This PC > Enter "Manage" > Click Device Manager and run "Disk Management" as an administrator.
• Find the hard drive you want to partition, right-click on the free-space dominant partition, and select "Shrink Volume." Change the partition size and tap on "Shrink" to confirm.
• Right-click on unallocated space, click "New Simple Volume," and select "Next" to continue. 
• Set the size, drive letter, and file system of the new partition, and click "Finish" to wait for the format complete.
