I want to split a single hard drive into two. Adviсe?

Question

Hard disks

Good afternoon. I have only one hard drive on my laptop, and I want to split it into two partitions. "C" and "D" The
question is asked, when reinstalling windows - will the files on the partitioned disk "D" disappear?

Answer 1

If you do not format D, then no.

Answer 2

What for?
If you do not divide and reinstall on a single disk, then the files will not be lost anyway

Answer 3

When installing WIndows, starting with Windows 7 - it is always offered to save files. And if the disks are not formatted, then all your data will remain.
Times when divided disks into sections - a relic of the past. It doesn't make any sense or benefit.

Answer 4

Data will not be lost during reinstallation, unless you specifically delete them.
And there is absolutely no difference where the data will be - in C or in D.
