Partition Master 10.8 Software From EaseUS ($40)

EaseUS Software, trademark of Chengdu Yiwo Tech Development Co., Ltd., launched Partition Master 10.8, a professional HDD space manager.

Besides updates of fundamental and key features from its predecessors, breakthrough is achieved in this 10.8 edition on converting system disk from MBR to GPT disk. Likewise, improved user-friendly interface is pretty much trouble free for better user experience.

The company’s data recovery and backup utilities, has occupied prevailing market places depending on R&D advantage of HDD application software. Partition Master 10.8 version still show expertise in resizing, moving, splitting or merging partitions on HDD regarding an upgrade in product quality and mature function. Comparing to 10.5 edition which only allows to switch MBR disk to GPT mutually, 10.8 version can convert MBR system disk into GPT disk under Windows 7 64 bit OS or later  OSs including Windows 10/8/8.1 without data loss to maximize computer HDD storage.

In response to increase in data and information, large storage capacity are required to keep all files intact and safe. In the past few decades, MBR disk is gradually replaced by GPT disk which works with disks far more than 2TB in size. MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID Partition Table) are two different ways of storing partitioning information on a HDD. However, it can only handle disks with no more than 2TB of space. In contrast, GPT disk allows for a nearly unlimited amount of partitions.

The versatile GPT disk associates with UEFI which replaces the clunky old BIOS. Windows can only boot from GPT on UEFI-based computers running 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and corresponding server versions. Therefore, the MBR-based partitioning scheme is in the process of being superseded by the GPT scheme in new computers. As for limitations of MBR, Modern computers using UEFI are going away from MBR support. When setting up a new disk on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 or Windows Server editions, it’s very obvious for the result about the choice between MBR and GPT.

Confirming to the common trend of GPT usage, Partition Master 10.8 enables users to convert system disk from MBR to GPT disk to optimize HDD space efficiently and boots 64 bit OS under UEFI environment. As well, it supports same operations under Native and WinPE.

Partition Master 10.8 is available.
