AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional Edition 8.5: managing partitions and disks on Windows

AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional Edition 8.5 is a program for managing hard drives, SSDs and partitions on Windows. It resizes partitions, moves and clones them, transfers an installed Windows to another drive and converts disks between MBR and GPT. Version 8.5 dates from 2019 and is suitable for users who want to reallocate storage space or move to a new SSD without reinstalling Windows.

Adjusting partitions and transferring systems

With Resize Partition, a partition is enlarged or reduced, for example when the system drive has become too small and there is still free space on an adjacent data partition. Partitions can also be moved so that free space ends up in the right place. The Resize Partition interface was revised in version 8.4; since version 8.1, the program has displayed disks and partitions as tiles with a capacity indicator.

OS migration transfers an installed Windows to another hard drive or SSD. Cloning lets you copy individual partitions or entire disks, for example when switching from an HDD to a larger SSD. Conversion between MBR and GPT changes the partition style of a disk, which is relevant, among other things, for drives larger than 2 TB and for systems with UEFI boot.

Windows To Go and other tools

The Windows To Go Creator creates a bootable Windows installation on a USB drive that can be started on other computers. Version 8.5 revised this feature and added the option to create Windows To Go for Mac computers, so that Windows can be started from the USB drive on a Mac. The range of functions also includes disk wiping, which completely overwrites a drive before it is passed on, as well as support for the Linux file system Ext4.

Changes to partitions have a deep impact on the disk. You should therefore create a complete backup of your data beforehand.
