Will it reject disposable email addresses ? Will Paragon use it for privacy-defeating behaviour ? We don’t know. If you insist on reminding me, each time I use your program, how rotten and devoid of features it is, I might opt for something else to begin with.įinally, the activation system is worryingly intrusive.

Do offer an upgrade path if you must, but do it in a more classy, subtle way. Either offer it for free, or keep it to yourself.

However, it seems that Paragon Partition Manager 15 Home is still available, at a more reasonable price of 40 € :Īlso, I hate free software that dangle under your nose, in big red letters, features you’re not allowed to access. The licencing details may be hidden somewhere, but I did not find them. We don’t even know if this extortionate price allows the program to be used by several people, or to be installed on several computers.

It certainly looks like the bar for free features has been lowered with the merge into Hard Disk Manager.įurthermore, the paid-for version of Hard Disk Manager is horrendously expensive, at 80 €.
Can Hard Disk Manager Free do that ? The comparison table does not say. Paragon Partition Manager 14 Free was able to shave off some free space from a partition and add it to a non-contiguous partition. It does not get into that level of detail.

The whole point of using something else than Windows Disk Management is to access the functions that are missing from it.įor instance, can Hard Disk Manager Free move a partition ? Or just move rightwards its left limit ? That, Windows 7 cannot do, and the Paragon comparison table does not say. I understand the need for Paragon to tier up their customers so as to generate revenue, but the first, free tier for partition is Windows. Now You: Which program do you use for backup and partitioning tasks? Specialized programs that are free as well, Veeam Endpoint Backup for instance when it comes to backup tasks, offer better functionality usually. Some advanced features are reserved to the paid version of the application. You may use it to create backups of drives or partitions, restore those backups, and to run basic partition operations. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic is a backup and partitioning tool for Windows. You may run any of the available wizard when expert view is open, or click on a drive or partition to run tools from there directly. You can switch the interface to Expert View instead which lists all available tools on a single page. The operations are sufficient for basic tasks for instance when you get a new hard drive and want to format or partition it. Volumes can be deleted and formatted, you may resize partitions, change volume labels, and run some other operations as well using that menu. You can run all basic operations right from that menu however. Some may be locked - indicated with the red lock symbol. While you can use it to create, format, or convert partitions, or set the status of partitions to hide, active or other statuses, you cannot make use of advanced functionality such as merging partitions, changing the cluster size or converting partition tables.Ī click on a drive displays the available options for it. The partitioning module of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 supports basic partitioning operations only.

The backup tool supports a handful of additional features you need to enable advanced settings for that, and may change the compression level, backup file size limits, and password protection then. Backups can be stored on external devices, local volumes, network shares, or burned to optical media. It supports creating backups of the system partition, select disks or partitions, file types, or files and folders. The application walks users through the steps of creating backups with a wizard.
While you can start the sign up process in Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic, you are required to verify the email address you enter, and set a password on the Paragon website to complete it.
The process is not as straightforward as entering account data in the application though. Activation requires that you create a Paragon account. The basic edition of the program is free, but you are required to activate it in the first five days after installation. The software program has a size of about 150 Megabytes, and can be downloaded as a 32-bit and 64-bit version for Microsoft Windows systems. Paragon discontinued the free editions of Partition Manager, Backup & Recovery, and Rescue Kit Free, but instead of just shutting down the products, the company created Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic which includes the functionality. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic is a free program for Windows by the German software company Paragon Software that combines several of the company's single-purpose tools in a single interface.
