I already have a copy (same version) of this GEM installed in my PC, after taking advantage of a previous giveaway released on glarysoft website a few weeks ago...so I'll pass it on!!

But what I can tell you is that this tool is the best Partition Manager I've used so far.

Best feature is definitely its ability to migrate your entire system into another HD (SSD, HDD) without reinstalling Windows.

Supports both WinPE bootable CD creation and UEFI boot (can even align partitions to optimize SSD or HDD).

Even the HOME (FREE) edition outclasses many similar paid/free tools out there.

Now, my dear friend Ashraf said that this version only supports WinPE bootable disc/USB and no Linux-based....

It's true, but hey....why consider this as a CONS?

Of course WinPE bootable disc/USB requires "Windows AIK kit" to work properly, but if you use VISTA/7/8 as OS usually you can directly create a Windows PE bootable CD without installing Windows AIK.

So maybe it can be considered a CONS only if you use XP or other OS, because LINUX BOOT DISK has several drawbacks when compared to WinPe (for instance it doesn't support hardware RAID and cannot perform any Disk and partition backup).

3 THUMBS UP from me and highly recommended product to buy (actually it's one of my favourite ones)!!

That being said, it’s worth noticing that WINDOWS already includes its own partition manager, so in theory, for an average home user eager to manage the partitions of his HD, there wouldn’t be any need to download any third-party partition manager software like the one offered here today!!

I've used FREE AOMEI Partition Assistant - Standard Edition many times to create, move, clone, and resize partitions, and all these work well to me. Thank you GOTD and AOMEI to giveaway the Pro Edition.

By the way, in case your computer loses power or goes down for some reason, i highly recommend backing up your important data before making changes on hard disk partition. AOMEI also provides data backup & disaster recovery solution - AOMEI Backupper (http://www.backup-utility.com/free-backup-software.html) which is free to use.

*System/Partition/Disk Backups
*Schedule/Incremental/Differential Backups
*Restore Everything Back to Its Original State
*Clone Hard Drive & Partition
*Backup to NAS, Dynamic Volumes Backup
*Create WinPE Bootable Disc Without Downloading Windows AIK
*Support Windows 7/8/Vista/XP and Server 2003/2008/2012

In general，the two AOMEI tools are must-have program if you partition your hard drives frequently or wouldn't lose your data.

Great for migration to SSD because it can align partitions properly (some other free tools can't).

I have to give this product a thumb up. One of my old operating system encountered disk space insufficiency. And I use this product successfully to migrate the OS to another brand new disk. My system works perfectly after that. What’s more, I find their free edition also has this function and it includes almost all the features that the paid version has, except Dynamic Disk Converter, convert partition between primary and logical and allocate free space. For you to learn, here is list features of their free edition: http://www.disk-partition.com/free-partition-manager.html enjoy it, if you miss the giveaway.
