Limitations in Windows 7 Disk Management

Windows 7 became generally available on October 22, 2009. Years later, many of you are still using this version. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 for your choice. 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer’s processor (also called a CPU), handles information.

In 2003, 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the mainstream personal computer arena, while 32-bit was popular previously. The 64-bit version of Windows can handle large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. To know about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit in Windows 7, please read the introduction of Windows 7.

To make full use of Windows 7 hard disks, you need to manage them according to your individual needs. In general, you can apply the Windows 7 snap-in Disk Management tool to partition Windows 7 32/64-bit system. But there are so many limitations in it.

For instance, in the basic disk, you can only extend a primary partition if there is adjacent unallocated space right behind the target partition, or extend a logical partition if there is adjacent free space right behind it (find out what caused extend volume greyed out). Otherwise, the basic disk will be converted into a dynamic disk.

In addition, some conversion functions can cause data loss, for example, conversion between MBR disk and GPT disk and converting dynamic disk to basic disk request you to delete all partitions in the target disk. All these limitations may cause inconvenience to you at any time.

Thus, do you know how to partition Windows 7 64-bit system with ease?

About Migrate OS to SSD/HD

In today’s era, computer hard drive is not only the medium to store and exchange data, it also provides an entertaining way. Users can download good music tracks and movies to the hard drive so as to listen to or watch them whenever they want.

As the size of files stored on the hard drive is increasing, the running speed and responding speed of computer will be greatly affected. Meanwhile, the appearance of SSD offers users a wonderful experience in speed. So to replace the old hard drive with a new SSD or migrate OS to new SSD becomes the first choice to improve computer performance and speed.

In addition, some large-scale online games are required to download to hard drive. This can easily make the old hard drive run out of space in a short time. The most direct and effective way to deal with this situation is also to replace the old hard drive with a new larger SSD or HD.

In both cases, if users don’t want to reinstall Windows and programs or don’t want to lose anything, we highly suggest using Migrate OS to SSD/HD feature of MiniTool Partition Wizard to do this, which is an easy and safe process.

Below is a detailed MiniTool Partition Wizard tutorial on OS migration.

Note: The migration process of Partition Wizard will destroy all data in users’ target disk, so users would better transfer data to another device or make a backup in advance. Yet, it doesn’t have any effect on the data in the original disk.

Переносим Windows 10 с HDD на SSD

Если у вас ноутбук, то твердотельный накопитель можно подключить по USB или установить вместо DVD-привода. Это нужно, чтобы скопировать ОС. Есть специальные программы, которые в несколько кликов скопируют данные на диск, но для начала нужно подготовить SSD.

Шаг 1: Подготовка SSD

В новом твердотельном накопителе обычно пространство не распределено, поэтому вам нужно создать простой том. Это можно сделать стандартными инструментами Виндовс 10.

1. Подключите накопитель.
2. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши на значок «Пуск» и выберите «Управление дисками».
3. Диск будет отображен черным цветом. Вызовите на нём контекстное меню и выберите пункт «Создать простой том».

В новом окне кликните «Далее».

Установите максимальный размер для нового тома и продолжите.

Назначьте букву. Она не должна совпадать с буквами, уже присвоенным другим дискам, иначе вы столкнетесь с проблемами отображения накопителя.

Теперь выберите «Форматировать этот том…» и выставьте систему NTFS. «Размер кластера» оставьте по умолчанию, а в «Метке тома» можете написать своё название. Также поставьте отметку напротив «Быстрое форматирование».

Теперь проверьте настройки, и если всё верно, кликните «Готово».

После данной процедуры диск будет отображаться в «Проводнике» вместе с другими накопителями.

Шаг 2: Перенос ОС

Теперь нужно перенести Виндовс 10 и все необходимые компоненты на новый диск. Для этого существуют специальные программы. Например, есть Seagate DiscWizard для накопителей одноименной компании, Samsung Data Migration для твердотельных дисков Самсунг, бесплатная программа с английским интерфейсом Macrium Reflect и т.д. Все они работают одинаково, разница только в интерфейсе и дополнительных возможностях.

Далее будет показан перенос системы на примере платной программы Acronis True Image.

Подробнее: Как пользоваться Acronis True Image

1. Установите и откройте приложение.
2. Перейдите к инструментам, а после к разделу «Клонировать диск».

Вы можете выбрать режим клонирования. Поставьте отметку на нужной опции и кликните «Далее».

• «Автоматический» сделает всё за вас. Этот режим стоит выбирать, если вы не уверены, что сделаете всё правильно. Программа сама перенесёт абсолютно все файлы с выбранного диска.
• Режим «Вручную» позволяет сделать всё самостоятельно. То есть вы можете перенести на новый SSD только ОС, а остальные объекты оставить на старом месте.

Рассмотрим подробнее ручной режим.

Выберите диск, с которого планируете копировать данные.

Теперь отметьте твердотельный накопитель, чтобы программа смогла перенести на него данные.

Далее отметьте те диски, папки и файлы, которые не нужно клонировать на новый диск.

После вы можете изменить структуру диска. Её можно оставить без изменений.
В конце вы увидите свои настройки. Если вы сделали ошибку или результат вас не устраивает, можно внести необходимые изменения. Когда всё будет готово, кликните «Приступить».
Программа может запросить перезагрузку. Согласитесь с запросом.
После перезапуска вы увидите работу Acronis True Image.

После окончания процесса всё будет скопировано, а компьютер выключится.

Теперь ОС находиться на нужном накопителе.

Шаг 3: Выбор SSD в BIOS

Далее вам нужно выставить SSD первым накопителем в списке, с которого должен загружаться компьютер. Это можно настроить в BIOS.

1. Войдите в БИОС. Перезапустите устройство, а во время включения зажмите нужную клавишу. В разных устройствах есть своя комбинация или отдельная кнопка. В основном используются клавиши Esc, F1, F2 или Del.

Урок: Входим в BIOS без клавиатуры

Найдите «Boot Option» и выставьте новый диск на первое место загрузки.

Сохраните изменения и перезагрузитесь в ОС.

Если вы оставили старый HDD, но вам больше не нужна находящаяся на нем ОС и другие файлы, можно отформатировать накопитель с помощью инструмента «Управление дисками». Таким образом вы удалите все данные хранящиеся на HDD.

Вот так происходит перенос Виндовс 10 с жесткого диска на твердотельный. Как видите, данный процесс не самый быстрый и легкий, но теперь вы сможете пользоваться всеми преимуществами устройства. На нашем сайте есть статья о том, как оптимизировать SSD, чтобы он прослужил дольше и эффективней.

Урок: Настройка SSD диска под Windows 10
