DiskGenius
Windows partition manager with a free edition that resizes, splits, converts MBR/GPT and migrates Windows.
In short
- The Free edition lists resize, split, MBR/GPT conversion, one-disk Windows migration and WinPE USB creation as supported4.
- The cheapest 12-month licence is $99.90 for 1 PC; a lifetime personal licence for 1 PC is $129.902.
- Professional adds saving the partition table after a lost-partition scan; Free cannot4,12.
- The vendor offers a 30-day conditional refund; it is generally refused once the software is activated or used3.
- Creating and formatting partitions is listed for NTFS, FAT32, exFAT and EXT45.
DiskGenius suits people who want a free edition that already handles resizing, splitting, GPT conversion and Windows migration4,5,9,10. Paid editions add lost-partition recovery that can save the partition table4,12. The catch: the cheapest year costs $99.90, the refund is conditional, and its pages do not list merging two partitions or FAT32-to-NTFS conversion2,3,5.
Best for: People who want a free edition that covers resizing, GPT conversion and moving Windows.
