Memory Help

It’s been a long time since I built a computer. I seem to remember that resizeing the partissions looses all the data? I haven’t been doing any computer stuff since windows 95. I just lost interest. I think working on bikes is more interesting. For better or worse. JJH

It does not lose data if all you do is redefine the unused space. I have resized partitions on spinning disc and solid state drives. You used to need a third party utility. I used Partition Magic. Now, Windows comes with its own utility to manage partitions. People have lost data when they try to manually move programs from one partition to another. As ever with technology, if you are not sure what you are doing, leave well alone and if you do proceed, make a back-up before dicking about.
