I beg to differ, Computer management > Disk management has allowed you to do that in a visual and safe way since at least windows seven in 2009. God knows since how long the underlying cli commands have been available.
- lukeschlather 8y agoWhile setting up a new laptop I tried to use it and I ended up having to force kill Disk Management after it was "shrinking" for a couple hours. I think the underlying command had succeeded but it just froze. I've never had that kind of experience with (G)Parted, and I think I still trust the Linux tools more...
- iforgotpassword 8y agoIirc it couldn't resize mounted partitions (that was win8), and shrinking always just failed with no meaningful error message.
