I Have 3 Partitions but I Want to Create a New Partition on the Same Drive, Help
I have a hard drive that already has 3 partitions on it, but I probably need another new partition to store my personal files. My friend helped me to create the 3 partitions, so I don't know how to do it again. How can I do it?

Indeed, three partitions may not fulfill your requirements of categorizing different files for better management. Thus, to help you create a new partition successfully, I will give you a reliable tool with a meticulous guide on what you should do. As a powerful partition management software, EaseUS Partition Master is all-featured and capable of creating partitions on hard drives.
Here are some other features you can make use of to manage your partitions flexibly:
- Extend system partition in Windows 10
- Format/Merge Partitions
- Recover partitions on external hard drives
Let's get started. Before creating a new partition, you need to ensure that there is unallocated space on your disk. If you already have unallocated space on your target drive, skip to phase 2.
Notification: Do a full backup before operating to keep your data secure at all times and in all situations.
Phase 1. Create Unallocated Space
As we know, a partition is created on the unallocated space. Follow the steps below to create unallocated space after launching EaseUS Partition Master on your computer:
Step 1. Head to the Partition Manager section, right-click the partition with a lot of space and choose "Resize/Move."
Step 2. Drag the left or right side of the bar to adjust the partition size for unallocated space. Click "OK" > "Execute 1 task" > "Apply" to save the change.
Phase 2. Create a New Partition
Now, you have got unallocated space and are ready to create a new partition on your disk using EaseUS Partition Master:
Step 1. Right-click on the unallocated space and select "Create."
Step 2. Change the partition size, partition drive letter, partition label, and file system according to your need in the Advanced Settings. Hit "OK."
Step 3. When the above steps are done, click "Execute 1 Task" and "Apply" to finish.
