Let’s start the review of AOMEI Partition Assistant SE

First, we talk about the software interface. The AOMEI partition assistant is just 9.76MB software that means it is very light software. Due to its small size, it can easily any version of the Windows. It supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 both 32 and 64bit versions.

In the above screenshot, you can see that the interface of this software is very clean and user-friendly. On the right side, you have all the options to manage the partition and disks. On another hand, the right side is for the information about the disks installed on your system. The lower right side shows all the disks along the beautiful storage indicator line while the above portion indicates the partition’s size, type, capacity, file system, free space, flag, and status information.  If you are new to partition related tasks or to this software you can click the tutorial option given in the menu bar of the software.

Partition Wizards and Disk operation available in the AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition (free). 

1. AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition: Extend Partition Wizard

If you want to extend the partition space where is the Windows is currently installed you can choose this option.

2. AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition: Disk Copy Wizard

If you are looking for any software that can copy your whole disk quickly then you don’t need to go anywhere else this software can also do that for you. Just follow disk copy wizard and you are done…

3. AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition: Partition Copy Wizard

The above option was to copy the whole disk but if you want some particular partition to be copied to another partition then the “Partition Copy Wizard” can prove handy.

 

4. AOMEI Partition Assistant Feature: Migrate OS to SSD

The Aomei Partition Migrate OS to SSD is another great feature the software provides. This option allows you to migrate you installed OS from old HDD drives to SSD drivers including all files and folders.

 

5. AOMEI Partition Recovery Wizard

If you have accidentally deleted any partition of the drive then the partition recovery option allows you to recover files of that deleted partition. It has two options Fast search and Full search, the Fast search quickly search for the deleted files from the partition. While the Full search will deep analyze the partition to recover as much as possible but this method is extremely slow.

6. AOMEI NTFS to FAT32 Convertor

This is the basic feature but it is good to have it at one place. This option allows converting the NTFS format of a drive to old FAT32.

7. Make Bootable media

AOMEI Make Bootable Media feature come handy to create a bootable media (ISO file, USB flash drive or CD/DVD) based on Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) can load an operating system and run Partition Assistant under the system, that you can’t start the operating system or if you want to avoid having to reboot after certain changes.

8. AOMEI Windows Go Creator

The AOMEI Window Go creator is an option that allows creating a bootable Windows pen drive. This means you don’t need to download some other third party software to create Windows bootable pen drive. Just plug the pen drive and select the ISO file and you are good to go.
