“Copy Partition” – This is self explanatory but there is something you should know: you must have free unallocated space in order to use this.Personally I find this backup feature to be too basic because even free tools let you choose things like compression and backup to CD/DVD/Blu-ray and you can no longer selectively restore backups with Paragon Partition Manager Personal.

This is a simple straight backup – you do not get to choose any settings (such as compression) except what partition(s) you want to backup, what you want to name the backup, and where you want to place the backup (you can place the backups locally, on a network, or on a portable device but not to CD/DVD/Blu-ray).

“Simple Backup” – Allows you to create image backups of your partitions.

Therefore people that do know won’t need this feature and people that don’t know shouldn’t be installing an OS (let someone else do it for you). create a partition) then you shouldn’t be installing an OS anyway.

To be honest I find this “Install new OS” feature very useless because if you don’t know what you need to do to your hard drive in order to install a new OS (i.e. In other words it either creates or formats (or both) a partition in which you will install your new OS.

“Install new OS” is a feature that prepares your computer for a new OS it does not actually install a new OS for you.

“Redistribute Free Space” – this feature is very much like “Express Resize Partition” except for the fact that the partitions need not be adjacent to each other.

next to each other on the disk map as shown to you in PPMP). Also the two partitions you select for “Express Resize Partitions” must be adjacent to each other on your hard disk (i.e. “Move/Resize Partition” allows you to resize just one partition at a time.

“Express Resize Partitions” – this is different from the “Move/Resize Partition” feature you will see a little later because “Express Resize Partition” allows you to select two partitions and make one larger by taking space directly from the other one.

It is “express” because the settings are preset to be NTFS and you cannot change it.

“Express Create Partition” – this allows you to create a NTFS format partition.

Furthermore, most of the features are fairly self-explanatory and do exactly what they sound like they do let me explain the “unself explanatory” ones:

All of the features have a built in wizard to guide you through the process of using them so even a non-geek can use them very easily.

You can access these features from under “Wizard” menu.

There is also a “professional” view, if you prefer that:įrom the full scale launcher – regardless of which “view” you use – you will be able to access the whole basket of features included in PPMP: I actually prefer the “classic” view, and you may also, so I changed it (via View -> Layouts -> Classic) to this:

However, you can make the window smaller manually and that new window size sticks to the full scale launcher every time you run it.)īy default the full scale launcher will look like the above. (The first time you run the full scale launcher it will open fully maximized. To get into the nitty-gritty and access all the features, you need to click on “Partition Manager” -> “Partition Manager” to launch PPMP proper: Via express mode you have quick, easy access to the main features of PPMP:Įxpress mode only gives you access to a select number of PPMP’s features. When you first run Paragon Partition Manager Personal, hereon referred to as PPMP (because I don’t want to type the name over and over), you are prompted with PPMP in “express mode”: The differences between the three editions is described in this chart (chart created by Paragon Software, not me):

Paragon Partition Manager comes in three editions: Free Edition, Personal, and Professional. Paragon Partition Manager is a world renowned partition management tool that is famous for the “bells and whistles” it comes with. However, what really makes this program a steal are the current sales of $9.95 and $29.95. $39.95 is a fair price and right around the ballpark of other rival partition managers.
