Which partitioning tool/software do you recommend for Windows 7 & Windows 8?

Which partitioning software do you recommend for Windows 7 and Windows 8 with the option of bootable USB?Also suggest any partitioning software that supports both Windows as well as Linux?

 

Don't know about 8, but GParted (bootable iso) for 7 definitely.

 

My current favorite is MiniTool Partition Magic. Their Home Edition is free and does most things most home users need. You can also download a bootable ISO from their site. It's a small, straightforward partitioning tool with a clear interface.

It works on Win 7 and 8, and it can create windows and linux partitions (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, ext2, ext3, ext4 and linux swap). Good boot disk too.

I usually use Parted Magic live bootable distro as it contains G parted + other tools.

But on Windows (XP) I've used EASEUS Partition Master

Also check out the "other" sections of Wilders that hosts Paragon products here.......

Bottom line......No real experience with Win 7 or 8 to directly answer OP..but experience with using the above 2 programs, and these are recommended to the OP to research.

best wishes....

Partition Wizard is very good. The last version, 7.7, "fully supports UEFI boot" according to the website. However, the information about the Linux-based boot CD is not clear. Can this boot CD boot an UEFI system with Windows 8 and SecureBoot, for example? Or is it necessary to disable SecureBoot to boot with the PW medium?

 

Dunno, sorry. MiniTool is just a very convenient, easy tool for basic partitioning operations. For something more demanding I'd probably try Parted Magic (based on its reputation) - it's basically a mix of GParted and other tools, although I'm not sure how well it handles Win 8 yet.
