Windows 11 settings windows update windows insider program

Специалисты портала Windows Latest рассказали, как обновить текущую версию Windows 10 до предварительной версии Windows 11 Insider Preview или установить превью новой ОС с образа диска на ПК, который не удовлетворяет аппаратным требованиям Windows 11. Для этого необходимо выполнить некоторые действия с реестром ОС.

Многие пользователи после анонса Windows 11 были удивлены, узнав, что их относительно новые ПК не подходят для Windows 11. Необходимость наличия нового процессора и модуля TPM 2.0 практически отсекает достаточно большое количество компьютеров, на которых штатно работает Windows 10.

Минимальные требования по установке ОС Windows 11:

• 64-битный двухъядерный процессор с тактовой частотой не менее 1 ГГц (32-битные приложения будут поддерживаться ОС);
• 4 ГБ ОЗУ;
• место на диске: 64 ГБ;
• монитор с разрешением 1366×768 и более с размером от 9-дюймов и больше;
• совместимость с UEFI, Secure Boot и поддержка TPM 2.0;
• видеокарта, совместимая с DirectX 12 / WWDM 2.x.

Поддерживаемые Windows 11 процессоры AMD (Ryzen 2000 и выше), Intel (Intel Core 8 и выше) и ARM (Qualcomm).

Если аппаратные требования пользовательского ПК не соответствуют вышеозначенным запросам, то Windows 11 устанавливаться не будет.

Как установить Windows 11 Insider Preview на ПК с Windows 10:

• сделать бэкап реестра;
• зайти в меню Settings -> далее в Update & Security -> далее в Windows Insider Program;
• выбрать «Get Started» и подключить свой аккаунт Microsoft к участие в программе предварительной оценки Windows;
• выбрать в качестве доступного канала Release preview;
• перезагрузить ПК путем клика в меню в настройках;
• зайти в меню программы Windows Insider и проверить доступность опции Dev Channel;
• если она недоступна, то зайти в редактор реестра по пути «HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
  MicrosoftWindowsSelfHostUISelection»;
• поменять значение параметра UIBranch с ReleasePreview на Dev;
• поменять значение параметра UIContentType на Mainline;
• поменять значение параметра UIRing на External;
• зайти в ветку реестра «HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsSelfHostApplicability»;
• поменять значение параметра BranchName на Dev;
• убедиться, что значение параметра ContentType — Mainline, а Ring — External;
• закрыть редактор реестра;
• перезагрузить ПК;
• зайти в меню программы Windows Insider и проверить доступность опции Dev Channel;
• зайти в меню Windows Update, где появится возможность установить Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22000.51.

Для ускорения переключения на Windows Insider Program в автоматическом режиме и без использования аккаунта Microsoft можно использовать скрипт «OfflineInsiderEnroll 2.5.0» с GitHub. Его нужно запускать в Windows 10 под администратором и выбрать там пункт 1 “Dev Channel”, а потом перезагрузить ПК.

При установке образа Windows 11 можно обойти требование по наличию на ПК TPM 2.0 таким образом:

• дойти до пункта в меню установки с ошибкой «This PC can’t run Windows 11»;
• нажать в этом окне «Shift+F10», чтобы запустить командную строку, где можно запустить редактор реестра с помощью команды regedit;
• зайти в ветку реестра «HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetup»;
• создать там новый раздел “LabConfig”;
• в ней создать параметры DWORD (32-bit) «BypassTPMCheck», «BypassRAMCheck» и «BypassSecureBootCheck» со значением «1»;
• закрыть редактор реестра и нажать стрелочку назад в верхнем левом угле страницы установки, система вернется к окну с галочкой лицензионного соглашения и продолжит нормальную установку.

Не факт, что такие действия с реестром смогут обмануть установщик после выхода релизной версии Windows 11. Вероятно, что в момент ее выхода в октябре этого года умельцы найдут еще способы по борьбе с аппаратными требованиями новой ОС.

Первая предрелизная сборка Windows 11 build 21996.1 появились в Сети 15 июня.

24 июня Microsoft представила Windows 11.

28 июня 2021 года Microsoft выпустила первую официальную предварительную версию Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22000.51 в рамках программы предварительной оценки Windows. Также Microsoft объяснила, зачем Windows 11 нужен модуль TPM 2.0 — чтобы обеспечить более высокий уровень защиты от различных атак.

UPDATE 6/28 at 12:30pm PDT: See this blog post on an update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements.

Today, we unveiled Windows 11 to the world, and we know Windows Insiders are super excited to get their hands on it! As Panos mentions here, we plan to release the first Insider Preview build for Windows 11 next week. However ahead of that release – we wanted to let Insiders know of a few changes we are making to how they will receive Windows 11 Insider Preview builds going forward.

Since launching Windows 10 six years ago, a lot of hardware innovation has happened in the PC space. For Windows to move forward and take better advantage of the latest innovations, we need to update the baseline system requirements for modern PCs. As a result, Windows 11 has updated hardware requirements which will be reflected in the Windows Insider Program. This blog post will outline what this means for Insiders new to flighting as well as Insiders who have already been flighting Insider Preview builds.

If you are new to flighting Insider Preview builds:

Welcome! After registering for the Windows Insider Program on the web or directly via Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program, opt-in your PC to flight Insider Preview builds via Settings and it will guide you through what options are available based on the hardware specifications for your PC.

We invite PCs that do not meet the new hardware requirements for Windows 11 to join the Release Preview Channel to preview updates for Windows 10.

If you are already flighting Insider Preview builds:

If you are already flighting Insider Preview builds, please take a look at the below chart to understand your PC’s eligibility for Windows 11 Insider Preview builds.

In support of the Windows 11 hardware requirements, we’re setting the minimum requirements for flighting to match what is enforced within our media install experience (ISOs), but we recommend that PCs meet the full hardware requirements for the best experience when using Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. You can use the PC Health Check app here to see if your PC meets these requirements. UPDATE 6/28 at 12:30pm PDT: See this blog post on an update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements.

While we recommend that all PCs meet the full hardware requirements for Windows 11, we are allowing some limited exceptions as we apply these new restrictions. All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs up through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements. Insiders with PCs already in the Dev Channel have been installing and giving feedback on builds with Windows 11 features since last year. Our way of saying thanks is to go ahead and give them the opportunity to see everything come together. However, this comes with some important tradeoffs we want to call attention to:

• Because these devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be issues and bugs that impact the experience of Windows 11 on these PCs that may not get fixed.
• If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires having to go back to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool here to go back to the Windows 10. These PCs will not be given another exception and not allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again. They will be treated as a new PC and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced as highlighted above.
• Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be opted out of flighting and will not be able to receive future Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. These PCs must clean install back to Windows 10 with the media (ISOs) that we provide and can then join the Release Preview Channel to preview Windows 10 updates.

Preparing the Beta Channel for Insider Preview builds of Windows 11

In preparation for releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds to the Beta Channel later this summer, we are moving PCs that do not meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11 in the Beta Channel to the Release Preview Channel. Some of these PCs may be able to move back to the Beta Channel, but at their own risk. See the above chart for details.

We realize this is a bit of a change, but this will ensure Windows Insiders have the best possible experience with Windows 11 Insider Preview builds on their PCs. We have set up a Microsoft Answers forum post here to address any questions Insiders might have.

We can’t tell you how excited we are to finally share the first full preview with our Insiders next week!

Thanks,
Amanda and Brandon

В этой публикации, друзья, рассмотрим, как стать участником программы предварительного тестирования Windows 11 Insider, она же инсайдерская программа Windows 11. И как установить предварительную тестовую сборку Windows 11 Insider Preview. Не все могут сделать это беспрепятственно. Для участия в инсайдерской программе компьютер должен соответствовать системным требованиям Windows 11, в частности, иметь современный процессор и модуль TPM 2.0. Если ваш компьютер не соответствует, эти ограничения необходимо обходить. Плюс к этому, пользователи из России и Беларуси, из-за санкций не могут участвовать в инсайдерской программе Windows 11, и эти ограничения также нужно обходить. Но, давайте обо всём подробно.

Есть несколько способов, как установить Windows 11 Insider Preview.

Друзья, на отвечающем системным требованиям Windows 11 компьютере получить её инсайдерскую вы можете, обновившись до неё с текущей Windows 10, для этого необходимо подключиться к инсайдерской программе Windows Insider. Если вы хотите это сделать с основной вашей Windows 10, обязательно создайте бэкап, чтобы вы могли откатиться к стабильной системе в случае каких-то проблем. Либо клонируйте Windows 10 на другой диск компьютера.

В системных параметрах Windows 10 идите по пути:

 Обновление и безопасность > Программа предварительной оценки

Жмите «Начать».

У инсайдерских Windows есть три канала поставки обновлений:

• Dev Channel – канал разработки, это первейшие сборки операционных систем, в них внедряются все новые наработки;
• Beta Channel – канал бета-тестирования, отлаженные сборки;
• Release Preview Channel – канал предварительных выпусков, ещё более отлаженные, но поздние сборки.

В контексте исследования первейших разработок Windows 11, конечно же, интересен канал Dev Channel. Или хотя бы Beta Channel. 

Если вы ранее уже регистрировались в программе Windows Insider, подключите аккаунт Microsoft, связанный с программой.

Если не регистрировались, выполните регистрацию прямо в приложении «Параметры».

После авторизации выбираем предпочитаемый канал, например, в нашем случае ранний Dev.

Затем подтверждаем переход на Windows Insider.

Перезагружаемся.

Идём в центр обновления Windows 10, жмём «Проверить наличие обновлений» и обновляем операционную систему до инсайдерской Windows 11.

На отвечающем системным требованиям Windows 11 компьютере можно перейти на инсайдерскую Windows 11 со стабильной Windows 11. Здесь будет тот же самый принцип и механизм, что при переходе на инсайдерскую Windows 11 с Windows 10. В системных параметрах Windows 11 идём по пути:

Запускаем присоединение к программе Windows 11 Insider и проходим те же этапы, что описаны в предыдущем пункте статьи.

Друзья, если ваш компьютер не соответствует системным требованиям Windows 11, вы не сможете официально участвовать в инсайдерской программе Windows 11. Но сможете неофициально или на виртуальных машинах. В целом можем предложить 3 способа решения вопроса.

Способ №1. Участвуйте в Windows Insider на виртуальной машине в программе VMware Workstation Pro или на виртуальной машине в Hyper-V. Эти два гипервизора предусматривают эмуляцию TPM 2.0. Установите на виртуальную машину со старта инсайдерскую сборку Windows 11. Потом зайдите в настройки инсайдерской программы в системном приложении «Параметры» по пути «Центр обновления Windows → Программа предварительной оценки». И подключите свой аккаунт Microsoft, привязанный к инсайдерской программе.

Это нужно для официального участия в программе Windows 11 Insider, т.е. для полноценного доступа к ней, в частности, для смены канала сборок, если вам это потребуется. Например, вы захотите перейти с более поздней ветви на раннюю, и вы сможете это сделать в том же в системном приложении «Параметры» по тому же пути «Центр обновления Windows → Программа предварительной оценки».

Способ №2. Попробуйте подключиться к инсайдерской программе на несовместимом с Windows 11 компьютере. Способ нестабильный, тем не менее. Включите отправку необязательных диагностических данных в приложении «Параметры».

Скачайте утилиту OfflineInsiderEnroll, выложенную на GitHub. Запустите её от имени администратора, выберите переключение на нужный канал путём ввода цифры канала. Например, на Dev Channel путём ввода цифры 1.Перезагрузитесь. Далее запустите специальный скрипт пропуска проверки соответствия требованиям Windows 11. После чего попробуйте в центре обновления запустить обновления, возможно, вам будет доступно обновление до новой сборки Windows 11.

Способ 3. Обновляйтесь вручную до новых инсайдерских сборок. Для этого вам не нужно никакое участие в программе Windows 11 Insider. Вам просто нужно получить установочный образ новой сборки путём компиляции с помощью сайта UUP. Предлагаемый на этом сайте компилятор предусматривает снятие ограничений на установку операционной системы. Сам же процесс обновления до новой сборки инсайдерской Windows 11 точно такой же, как процесс обновления до стабильной Windows 11 с использованием ISO-образа установки. Детали смотрите в статье «Как обновить Windows 11 Insider на несовместимых компьютерах». 

Наконец, как скачать инсайдерскую Windows 11, чтобы установить её с нуля? Скачать можно:

• На сайте инсайдерской программы Microsoft (требуется регистрация в инсайдерской программе); 
• На сайтах типа платформ обновлений Windows методом компиляции установочного образа (ничего не требуется).

Важно: чтобы установить инсайдерскую Windows 11 на компьютер, который не отвечает её системным требованиям, либо на виртуальную машину без поддержки TPM 2.0, в частности, в программах VirtualBox и VMware Workstation Player, необходимы способы обхода блокировки установки операционной системы на неподдерживаемые устройства. Эти способы смотрим в статье «Как установить Windows 11 без TPM 2.0, Secure Boot и UEFI».

Если будете ставить систему на физический компьютер, вам пригодится статья сайта «Как создать загрузочную флешку Windows 11». Также, возможно, вам, друзья, пригодятся материалы сайта касаемо инсайдерской программы: 

• «Что нового в сборках Windows 11 Insider Preview»;
• «Как в Windows 11 Insider Preview перейти на другой канал инсайдерской программы».

Наконец, друзья, ограничение на участие в Windows 11 Insider в России и Беларуси. Как обойти это ограничение, смотрим в статье «Как обойти ограничение на участие в Windows 11 Insider в России и Беларуси».

Windows 11 has finally been announced by Microsoft! The new operating system has undergone a major UI and performance overhaul. While there are new icons and a revamped settings app, Windows 11 sounds to be one of the best Windows operating systems for the decade. Now that the insider update is officially available, here is a guide on how to join Windows Insider Program to get Windows 11 Insider Builds on Windows 10.

While there are a few days left for the Windows 11 insider preview builds to be released, you can take a look at all the new features by heading here. You can also rock the new Windows 11 wallpapers by heading here. While the update to Windows 11 will be free to all Windows 10 users, we could see the official rollout of the OS sometime in October – November this year. Without further ado, let’s take a deep on how to get Windows 11 Insider builds.

How to get Windows 11 Beta through Windows Insider Program

What is the Windows Insider Program

The Windows Insider Program is a whole community of people who wish to test and try out the latest builds from Microsoft. These builds usually are previews of what one could expect as a final release which later rolls out as a major update. The builds have experimental features so you can expect a lot of bugs as well as an insatiable device. With Microsoft one just being announced, the only way to get your hands on the brand-new operating system is by registering and becoming a Windows Insider.

Types of Build Channels

As a Windows Insider, you have an option to choose between the Dev Channel, Beta Channel, and the Release Preview Channel. Depending on the channel that you opt-in, the updates will defer based on stability as well a few features that may or may not make it to the other and final builds.

The Dev Channel

The Dev Channel is where you will be getting access to the newest features and updates that may break or fix a few things. These updates are usually the most unstable ones and contain a large number of bugs The channel is recommended if you are fine living with most of the issues and are willing to provide feedback to Microsoft.

The Beta Channel

Here is where you will get a bit more stable and reliable updates. Now, you might sometimes not see updates that were in the Dev Channel over in the Beta Channel It could be that the feature or function was removed because it could be breaking a lot of things or the feature needs some more working out. Also, feedback is taken by Microsoft from testers in the Beta Channel.

The Release Preview Channel

Here is where you get the most stable updates which you can expect to be later rolled out to the public. The updates in this channel are safety install and many people who don’t want to mess around with various system issues usually opt for this channel. This channel doesn’t require you to send any feedback whatsoever.

Check System eligibility for Windows 11

This is an important step that you need to perform as Windows 11 has a set of minimum requirements as well as additional hardware requirements to get the update to Windows 11. You can check if your system is eligible to update to Windows 11 by downloading Microsoft’s PC Health Checker app that will determine if your system is eligible to receive the update. If you are eligible to receive the update, you can then apply to be a Windows Insider and get the beta update to Windows 11 right away.

Register as a Windows Insider for Windows 11 Beta updates

To register as a Windows Insider to get the latest developer updates, do the following

1. Open the Settings app and click on Update and Security.
2. Click on the Windows insider Program that is on the left pane.
3. Now click on Get Started.
4. Here you will have to sign in with your Microsoft Account.
5. Once signed in it will ask you to select a channel (Developer, Beta, or Release Preview) to join.
6. Choose the one you prefer.
7. That’s it.

Now that you have joined the Windows insider program to receive Insider Preview updates for Windows 11. Microsoft has pushed the first insider preview build of Windows 11, if you’re running on Windows 10 and your PC is eligible for upgrade then you can opt the insider preview program to update your system to the new Windows 11 insider build.

To get the update, all you need to do is, head over to the Settings app > Update & Security > check for updates > you’ll see Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22000.51 (co_release) build. The installation may take a while (it takes more than an hour for me).

However, systems that only meet the minimum hardware requirements will be receiving updates a bit slower as compared to those systems that have the perfect hardware to receive all the test builds of Windows 11.

Conclusion

If you wish, you can always opt-out of the Insider program for Windows 11, but, do keep in mind that if you wish to do so, you will need to have the Windows 10 ISO file as it requires you to perform a clean install to go back to Windows 10.

What to do if you can’t switch Windows Insider Channel from the Dev Channel to Beta or leave the Windows Insider Program? MiniTool Solution tells you the reason for this issue. If you insist on switching the Windows Insider Channel or leaving the Windows Insider Program, you can try the methods mentioned in this post.

Have You Ever Joined the Windows Insider Program to Get Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds

Timeline of Windows 11

• On June 15, 2021, someone leaked the screenshots of Windows 11 new Start Menu, UI (user interface), and more on the internet. This caused an uproar. At that time, users were guessing whether Windows 11 was real. They looked forward to an official response from Microsoft.
• On June 24, Microsoft confirmed that Windows is “a re-imagining of the operating system”.
• On June 28, Microsoft released the first Windows 11 preview build 22000.51 and SDK (Software Development Kit) of Windows 11 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.
• On October 5, 2021, Microsoft rolled out the official Windows 11 to the public.

Which Insider Channel Are You In Now?

Before the official release, if you wanted to try Windows 11 on your supported device, you needed to first join the Windows Insider Program. In the beginning, only Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can get Windows 11 preview build. Due to this, many users chose to participate in the Dev Channel.

As Windows 11 became more and more stable, Microsoft began to release the preview builds to the Beta Channel (since Windows 11 preview build 22000.100) and then to commercial PCs in the Release Preview Channel (since Windows 11 preview build 22000.176). Since Windows 11 preview build 22000.176, only Insiders in the Beta Channel and commercial PCs in the Release Preview Channel can get Windows 11 Insider preview builds that match Windows 11 experience to be released on October 5^th. Insiders in the Dev Channel began to get higher versions of Windows 11.

You can go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program > Choose your Insider Settings to see which Channel you are in.

Can’t Switch Windows Insider Channel on Windows 11! Why?

Since Windows 11 preview build 22000.160, Microsoft began to remind the Insiders who want to use stable Windows 11 builds to switch to Dev Channel if they are still in the Dev Channel.

For some reason, you may miss this opportunity and still stay in the Dev Channel. If so, now you can’t switch from Insider Dev Channel to Beta or leave the Windows Insider Program using the universal method.

Let’s see the detail: 

Go to Windows Update > Windows Insider Program > Choose your Insider settings to check your Insider settings. If you are in the Dev Channel and all the three Channels are grey out, it usually means that you can’t switch Windows Insider Channel or can’t change Windows Insider settings through the universal method because the Windows 11 build you are using is not tied to a specific release.

Well then, how about leaving the Windows Insider Program?

You can click Stop getting preview builds and then click the leaving the Insider Program link to navigate to the Leave the Windows Insider Program page.

After you click the Leave the program now button on that page, the button will become unavailable and there is a message saying This email address is not registered as a Windows Insider. Is it successful? No.

Even after rebooting your Windows 11 computer, you can still see you are in the Dev Channel. When a new Windows 11 Insider preview build rolls out to the Dev Channel, your computer can still receive it.

Here is the reason why you can’t switch from Insider Dev Channel to Beta:

Switching between the Dev Channel and the Beta Channel is only available when the builds in these two Channels are equal. If you have already upgraded to a higher version of Windows 11 through the Dev Channel (Windows 11 Insider preview build 22449 or higher versions), you can’t change Windows Insider Channel using the normal way because the build you are running in the Dev Channel is not tied to a specific release.

Does this mean you can’t change your Insider level/settings forever? Of course not.

You can check Unenroll this device immediately (the only available option under Stop getting preview builds) to get some useful information:

To stop getting Insider Preview builds on this device, you’ll need to clean install the latest release of Windows 10. Note: this will erase all your data and install a fresh copy of Windows 10.

But can you only choose to clean install Windows 10 to exit the Windows Insider Program? Of course not, you can also use Windows 11 Media Creation Tool or Windows 11 ISO file to install Windows 11 on your computer to leave the Windows Insider Program.

If you still want to join the Beta Channel of the Windows Insider Program, you can do it after a Windows 10/11 clean install.

How to Leave the Dev Channel (if You Can’t Switch Windows Insider Channel on Windows 11)?

Since your can’t change your Windows Insider Channel level from the Dev Channel now, the only thing you can do is to leave the Windows Insider Program by performing a clean install of Windows 10/11. After that, you can choose to participate in your needed Channel or not according to your requirements.

Preparation: Back up Your Windows 11 Data

Windows 11/10 clean install will remove all your files, settings, and apps from your computer. To avoid data loss, you should use professional Windows data backup software to back up your data to an external hard drive.

You can use MiniTool ShadowMaker to do the job. This software is specially designed to back up your files, folders, partitions, disks, or Windows operating system to keep them safe or for other reasons.

Step 14: Click OK to confirm the deletion.

Step 15: Select the deleted partition (Drive 0 Unallocated Space) and click Next.

Step 16: Windows Setup begins installing Windows 11 on your computer. The whole process will last for a while. When the process ends, your computer will restart automatically. After that, you need to continue with Windows 11 out-of-box experience.

Method 2: Clean Install Windows 11 Using ISO

Move 1: Download or Create a Windows 11 ISO File

Download a Windows 11 ISO file: you can go to the Windows 11 software download page to select a proper Windows 11 ISO file to download.

Create a Windows 11 ISO file: You can also use the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool to create a Windows 11 ISO file. When you reach this step, you need to select ISO file instead to create Windows 11 ISO file.

Move 2: Install Windows 11 Using ISO

Step 1: Double-click the Windows 11 ISO file you get to mount it.

Step 2: Click the setup.exe file.

Step 3: When you see the following interface, click Next to continue. However, you can click the change how Setup downloads updates link to modify the updates settings if necessary.

Step 4: Click Accept.

Step 6: Follow the onscreen guide to complete the Windows 11 installation process.

Choice 2: Clean Install Windows 10

If you don’t want to use Windows 11 temporarily, you can choose to go back to Windows 10. Since you can’t change your Windows Insider Channel level now, you need to clean install Windows 10.

You can go to the Windows 10 software download page from Microsoft to download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and use it to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive. Then, you can clean install Windows 10 from USB. The operation is similar to Windows 11. We will not repeat the steps here.

Now, you leave the Windows Insider Program. If needed, you can join the Windows Insider Program again. This time, remember to select your needed Channel.

When your Windows 11 installation and setup are complete, you can install some necessary software on your computer for further use.

Here are some useful tools from MiniTool Software:

1. To recover your lost and deleted files on Windows 11, you can try MiniTool Power Data Recovery, a professional data recovery software. This software can recover data from all kinds of data storage devices like internal hard drives, external hard drives, memory cards, SD cards, USB flash drives, etc. You can first use the trial edition of this software to scan your drive and check if it can find your needed files. If you need to use it to recover all your needed files, you need to use a full edition.

Free Download

2. If you need a partition manager to manage your computer hard drive or other storage devices, you can use MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Free Download

3. As we have mentioned above, if you want to back up your Windows and files, you can use MiniTool ShadowMaker.

Free Download
