![]() This means you might sometimes try to open something in the free version only to be prompted to buy the professional one. One thing we don't like about this program is that several features are only available in the full, paid version, but are still clickable. You can also password protect EaseUS Partition Master, hide partitions, upgrade the system drive to a larger bootable drive, merge partitions, defragment a drive, and copy Windows to a different hard drive. The list of pending operations is even shown on the side of the program so you can clearly see what will happen when you apply them. We particularly like this feature so things like expanding and copying partitions can be done in one swipe instead of having to reboot between each operation, thus saving tons of time. Modifications exist only virtually, which means you're only seeing a preview of what will happen if you save the changes, but nothing is actually set in stone yet. Changes don't take effect until you click the Execute button. We're still not overly impressed by the backup tools, but the one-stop, do-everything Paragon Hard Disk Manager 14 Professional delivers elsewhere with a stack of effective and reliable features.Managing the size of a partition in EaseUS Partition Master is dead simple thanks to their easy-to-use slider that lets you drag left and right to shrink or expand a partition.Ĭhanges you apply to a partition with this program aren't actually applied in real-time. Please note, the trial version doesn't include Paragon's Recovery Media Builder, and some of its operations are available in virtual mode only. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 14 does provide an array of reliable and effective hard drive tools, though, most powered by helpful wizards so they're extremely easy to use. If you need a solid all-in-one package, crammed with business-oriented extras, then it's definitely worth a try. Take a look at the Suite version as an alternative. If you're a regular home user, just looking for straightforward partitioning, copy and backup tools, then this is probably overkill. Essentially it's replaced the menus with a new ribbon, but is otherwise fairly similar to before. The "quick launcher" has a very "Windows 8" look if that doesn't appeal, don't worry, the main program hasn't changed quite so much. There's better compatibility everywhere, with new and enhanced support for Windows 8.1, Apple HFS+, Windows Storage Spaces, and all the latest virtualisation software (MS Virtual PC, VMware Workstation 10.0, VMware Fusion, and Oracle VirtualBox 4).Īnd this is all presented in a new interface. There's full uEFI support, including the ability to create a bootable GPT/uEFI-compatible backup capsule for your 64-bit Windows installation, making it easy to repair any problems.Ī new, simpler Recovery Media Builder can build bootable WinPE or Linux-based recovery environments itself, with no need to install further Windows development tools (ADK, WAIK). You can save partitions or entire disks - real or virtual - to pVHDs, then mount and restore them from Windows, WinPE or Linux. ![]() New features to both suites (Suite and Professonal) include the pVHD format, a special VHD file which comes optimised for backups. You get more backup and virtualisation options a GPT Loader allows Windows XP systems to access modern high-capacity drives and powerful scripting tools mean you can automate all of these operations, without any browsing through the GUI. ![]() Low-level optimisations - change cluster size, defragment/ compact the MFT - ensure the maximum possible performance. ![]() Paragon Hard Disk Manager 14 Professional takes this further with Bitlocker and dynamic volume support. And there are tools to copy drives, fix boot problems, save drives to virtual disk formats, convert drives between file systems (no formatting required), wipe disks to destroy confidential data, and more. You're able to back up anything from emails, to your documents folder, individual partitions or an entire hard drive. The package includes everything you get in Hard Disk Manager 14 Suite. You can create, format, merge, split, delete or undelete partitions. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 14 Professional is a comprehensive suite of tools that comes ready to handle all your hard drive management needs.
