Norton Partition Magic for Windows 10?

Norton Partition Magic does not support Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit). This article introduces free alternative of Partition Magic for Windows 10.

Forget Partition Magic for Windows 10

Norton Partition Magic, originally called as PowerQuest Partition Magic is a very famous disk partition management software. Before acquired by Symantec, the manufacturer PowerQuest is a Fortune 500 company. This shows that, so many people use this software in the age of Windows 2000 and XP.

Can Partition Magic be installed on Windows 10? Yes, I've tried installing to my Windows 10 desktop successfully.

But after starting it, I received error:

I've tried to change drive letter and made other efforts without success. In fact, it is not a real issue of drive letter, it is because Partition Magic cannot read the parameters of disk partition with the same way in Windows 2000 and XP.

PartitionMagic 8.0.5 is the last version released under Symantec. On December 8, 2009 the Symantec website states: "Sorry, we no longer offer Norton Partition Magic."

Symantec has stopped updating and selling Partition Magic for such as long time, so, it's really time to say goodbye.

Partition Magic portable for Windows 10?

I can't believe so many people still finding a way to run Partition Magic on Windows 10. Nowadays, many people like to use portable media such as USB disc. Then is it possible to create USB portable version of Partition Magic for Windows 10?

I've tried many methods but failed. Searching by Google completely and I found no successful case.

Even if anyone can create Partition Magic portable USB, I don't suggest running on Windows 10 computer. Yes, portable method does not rely on Operating System, but as I tried Partition Magic even cannot read drive letter. Can it guarantee system, partition, files and everything intact?

Boot manager is changed, new disk and partition type are added in Windows 10, 8, 7, so obviously, Partition Magic cannot handle everything on Windows 10. You'd better find out some alternatives.
