(Skip to step 3 if your drive already has unallocated space.)

Step 1. Create unallocated space by right-clicking the partition with much free space and choosing "Resize/Move."

Step 2. Resize the partition to create unallocated space by dragging the right or left end of the partition. Click "OK" to move on.

Step 3. Run the Partition Manager and right-click the unallocated space to click "Create."

Step 4. Customize the advanced settings like the partition size, drive letter, partition label, and file system. Click "OK."

Step 5. Select "Execute 1 Task" and "Apply" to create a new partition on the hard drive.

Way 2. Create a New Partition With Disk Management

Using the Disk Management tool is perhaps one of the solid options for most users. It's a built-in tool provided by Windows that you can complete many disk tasks, such as deleting the NTFS partition. However, you should format the hard disk after creating a partition. Here is how to do it:

  • Disk format may cause data loss, so back up the whole target drive before making a new partition.
  • Right-click on This PC > Enter "Manage" > Click Device Manager and run "Disk Management" as an administrator.
  • Find the hard drive you want to partition, right-click on the free-space dominant partition, and select "Shrink Volume." Change the partition size and tap on "Shrink" to confirm.
  • Right-click on unallocated space, click "New Simple Volume," and select "Next" to continue. 
  • Set the size, drive letter, and file system of the new partition, and click "Finish" to wait for the format complete.
