Here are some other features you can make use of to manage your partitions flexibly:

Let's get started. Before creating a new partition, you need to ensure that there is unallocated space on your disk. If you already have unallocated space on your target drive, skip to phase 2.

Step 1. Head to the Partition Manager section, right-click the partition with a lot of space and choose "Resize/Move."

Step 2. Drag the left or right side of the bar to adjust the partition size for unallocated space. Click "OK" > "Execute 1 task" > "Apply" to save the change.

Phase 2. Create a New Partition

Now, you have got unallocated space and are ready to create a new partition on your disk using EaseUS Partition Master:

Step 1. Right-click on the unallocated space and select "Create."

Step 2. Change the partition size, partition drive letter, partition label, and file system according to your need in the Advanced Settings. Hit "OK."

Step 3. When the above steps are done, click "Execute 1 Task" and "Apply" to finish.
