Installed the new Windows 8 operating system and now looking for an ideal tool to resize or wipe partitions? If you want a free tool even simpler and powerful than the native Windows Disk Management to create, edit, resize and delete partitions on Windows 8, look no further than EaseUS Partition Master Home software.
EaseUS Software, a leading provider of storage management and maintenance tools, has recently updated its popular Partition Master Free edition with added support for the latest Windows 8 operating system. EaseUS Partition Master Free 9.1 and later versions support the newest version of Windows. For starters, Partition Master Home is a free hard drive partition manager and disk management utility for Windows.
Key features:
# Resize or move partition
# Explore partition’s contents
# Wipe partition
# Copy partition
# Format partition
# Defragment partition to speed up
# Delete partition
# View partition information
# Convert a partition to logical
# Check partition for errors
# Set a partition as active

The Disk Clone Wizard in the software helps you easily transfer all data from one hard disk to another or upgrade system disk to a bigger one and boot the system from the bigger. Partition Recovery Wizard helps you recover deleted or lost partitions from unallocated space using two recovery modes.
Even though many of the features included in Partition Master Home is also available in Windows Disk Management, this tool is one of the best free partition managers for Windows because of the easy-to-use user interface and three advanced wizards.
We tested it on Windows 8 x64 machine and can confirm that it works, as claimed. The single installer is available for both x86 and x64 versions of Windows 8.

Move CONTROL PANEL back to where it was in Windows 8. Also, let it have it’s own APP as before.

If this works, it (may) save me from having to purchase a partition management software (like Paragon 12) to upgrade from Windows 8.1 Consumer Edition [build 9431] to the full production Release of Windows 8.1. As I understand it, upgrading to the full release will delete Windows 8.1 entirely, like it did with Windows 8.0 and I will lose all my data and applications? I still will opt for a second hard drive and clone it, adding a dual-boot (Boot Manager) feature.
