I use a number of web-based apps and services that I pay for on a monthly or yearly basis because they provide an ongoing service, and these services are updated and upgraded regularly.
Anti-virus/anti-malware software requires ongoing R&D and enjoys frequent, sometimes even daily, updates.
I have never been one to whine about subscription-based pricing models-when it makes sense. But I've recommended this very good program countless times over the years, and for anyone who spends a modicum of time upgrading or building computers, upgrading disk drives, hacking/modding mobile phone ROM's, etc., I used to wholeheartedly proclaim that for such a useful tool, it's money well-spent.īut that was before they moved to this lamentable and obnoxious subscription-based purchase scheme. On top of that, the program comes with some complementary tools you will hardly find in other partition managers, like a wizard to migrate your operating system to another SSD or HDD disk.As a long-time user of MPW Pro (purchased over 7 years ago), I personally have no need of today's giveaway.
In addition, you also have some disk-oriented functions like a MBR disk to GPT disk converter and a partition recovery utility. There are also some partition-checking functions available like the file system check and the surface test. The feature set offered for free, however, is generally more than enough for standard and even advanced users of Windows, as they can easily create, move, resize, extend, merge, split, delete, format, copy, align and wipe partitions, toggle them between primary and logical, change their type, ID and serial number, and convert their file system between NTFS and FAT. The free edition of the program can be used indefinitely for personal and non-commercial use, but its functionality is a bit reduced as compared with the other available editions (Professional, Server, Enterprise and Technician), all of them paid.
