Most people land on this download because they're about to resize a partition to make room for a dual-boot install or a bigger drive swap, and they'd rather not risk Windows' built-in Disk Management tool for anything beyond basic shrinking. The free edition here covers resizing, moving, merging partitions, and full disk cloning to a new drive, all without needing a paid license. Just be aware the free tier is licensed for personal use, and a few advanced recovery features are locked behind the Pro upgrade. Download the Windows installer below to get started.
What the Free License Covers Before You Need Pro
The free edition handles resizing, moving, merging, and copying partitions, plus basic disk cloning to a larger drive, covering most home-user scenarios like adding storage or preparing for a dual-boot setup.
Advanced recovery of deleted partitions, dynamic disk conversion, and command-line/server use require the paid Pro or higher tiers, so check the feature comparison if your task falls outside basic resizing.

Keeping MiniTool Partition Wizard Free up to date
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free typically checks for updates from inside the app, or you can just re-download the current installer from the official source periodically — reinstalling over the top keeps your settings. Sticking to the developer's own distribution channel — which is what this page links to — means you're never stuck on an old build with unpatched bugs just because a mirror site stopped updating its copy.
