EASEUS Partition Master 5.0.1 Professional is a sophisticated partitioning software that can not only perform various partitioning tasks but also partition recovery and transfers.

Update: Please note that EASEUS has released updates for Partition Master Professional that improve the program's functionality. It is for instance compatible with newer versions of Windows, supports 4K alignment, or options to convert MBR system disks to GPT and vice versa. A free version featuring most of the features of the professional version, is also available for download.

Most computer users will eventually need to run specialized software to perform a specific task.

Partition software is one type that often needs to be used after buying a new hard drive, repairing partition errors like drive letters that are not recognized anymore, before installing a new operating system, or for migrating the operating system to a new drive.

While you may only need these types of programs sporadically, or not at all if you never modify your PC and don't run into any partitioning issues, it is often better to use specialized software instead of build-in Windows tools.
