When I would like to get partition resize for my hard disk space on my system of Windows,  someone informed me that only by assistance from built-in disk management, do without using of  3rd party hard disk partition manager, however, I made much effort and it also were not able to meet with my need satisfactorily. Here I make a conclusion between the Windows hdd management tool and the third party partition software—Partition Assistant produced  by Aomei Technology as example.
