merging partitions for Windows 8

Windows 8 Consumer Preview was officially announced last month. As a new generation operating system of Microsoft, Windows 8 was expected highly by Microsoft. Microsoft re-programmed its kernel program and optimized the hardware resources occupied by Windows 8 greatly. Aiming at touch operation design, Microsoft endowed Windows 8 with new features: running in PC as well as tablet. Drawing on this, Microsoft began its competition with Google in mobile terminal field. No sooner had Windows 8 been released than many users had installed and begun to test it out. Windows 8 Consumer Preview will have no great difference with the finial edition. Seeing from Windows 8 Consumer Preview, we know that the built-in disk management tool in Windows 8, compared with that in Windows 7, has not changed much. With the unsatisfying utility, we can just create, delete, format or change drive letter, all of which are simple disk management operations. Although the tool has Extend Volume function and Shrink Volume function, like in Windows 7, it can not meet users' demands for fine partition management. As to merging partitions, the tool can not make it perfectly. If we want to merge partition in Windows 8, the third-party software for Windows 8 partition merging is essential.

Fortunately, the partition manager MiniTool Partition Wizard, released by MiniTool Solution Ltd. after in-depth research, can operate perfectly under Windows 8. With this partition manager, we can merge partitions in Windows 8 without any difficulty.
