How to split the flash drive to sections

Initially, the entire space on a USB flash drive is represented as a single partition, and when formatting or working in the disk management menu, there is no possibility to create an additional volume. However, some users have such a need to ensure that it is required to place the files of certain formats in different sections. Then the third-party software or standard tool of Windows 10 will come to the rescue, which has become available with the output of the Creators Update update.

Create partitions on the flash drive

Before starting the operation, we recommend creating copies of all files that are on the drive, since further formatting and further distribution to the sections will be performed.
