AOMEI Partition Assistant

Overview

The core editor can create, delete, merge, split, resize and move partitions. Beyond that, it can migrate an operating system to an SSD, clone a system disk, convert a system disk between MBR and GPT, and make bootable media. That combination suits both routine disk reorganization and users preparing a migration or needing bootable tools.

Storage support follows what Windows recognizes, including HDDs, SSDs, USB disks, NVMe drives, RAID and NAS. File-system coverage is less uniform: for ReFS, Ext2/3, ExFAT and other unknown file systems, operations are limited to formatting, deleting and wiping. Users who need broader changes on those formats should look elsewhere.

The demo allows users to explore all functions and simulate operations; upgrading to the full version activates them. Supported systems include Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Server 2025.

Key features

• Partition management: Create, remove, combine, divide, resize or move partitions. This covers common disk-layout changes in one utility.
• OS and disk tools: Migrate an OS to an SSD, clone a system disk, and convert a system disk between MBR and GPT. These additions make it relevant to migration and disk-conversion work, not just partition sizing.
• Bootable media: Create bootable media for disk work, a useful complement to changes made within Windows.
• Windows-recognized storage: Work with devices including RAID and NAS as well as conventional internal and USB drives, provided Windows recognizes them.

Pricing

The Standard edition is free: it provides free partition-management features for a Windows PC. The demo can simulate operations and expose all functions, but full access requires an upgrade. The free edition is the sensible starting point for basic personal disk work; paid editions are needed when their license scope or included terms fit the job.

• Professional Yearly: 49.95 USD per year for one license covering 2 PCs. It suits an individual who wants a subscription for two computers.
• Professional Lifetime: 59.95 USD one-time for lifetime use and upgrades, with one license for 2 PCs. For a longer-term two-PC need, the upfront price is only 10 USD above the yearly plan.
• Professional Family Lifetime: 89.95 USD one-time for one license covering 5 PCs, a fit for a household with several Windows machines.
• Server Yearly: 169.00 USD per year for one license covering 2 servers; Server Lifetime: 199.00 USD one-time for lifetime upgrades and 2 servers.
• Unlimited Yearly: 399.00 USD per year for unlimited PCs and servers within one company. Unlimited Lifetime: 599.00 USD one-time for lifetime upgrades under the same company-wide scope.
• Technician Yearly: 599.00 USD per year for unlimited PCs and servers, including billable technical services for clients. Technician Lifetime: 799.00 USD one-time with lifetime upgrades and the same client-service rights.

Professional plans fit personal computers, while Server plans cover two servers. The company-wide Unlimited edition does not include billable client services; technicians offering paid services to clients need the Technician license. A 90-day unconditional money-back guarantee and lifetime free technical support by email are offered. The maker also advertises 256-bit SSL secure ordering.

Platforms

AOMEI Partition Assistant runs on Windows, with support spanning Windows 7 to Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to Server 2025. Its storage range is broad for devices Windows recognizes, but it is not a cross-platform partition editor.

Who it's for

Choose it if you manage Windows disks and want partition changes alongside OS migration, system-disk cloning, conversion and bootable media. The Standard edition offers a no-cost route for free partition-management features, while paid plans scale from a two-PC license to company-wide or client-service use. It is a weaker fit if you need extensive operations on ReFS, Ext2/3 or ExFAT, or need a native tool for another operating system.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Combines common partition changes with OS migration, system-disk cloning, MBR/GPT conversion and bootable media.
• Pro: Supports a wide range of Windows-recognized storage, including NVMe, RAID and NAS.
• Pro: Lifetime licenses are offered for personal, server and business editions, with upgrade terms specified for several paid tiers.
• Con: ReFS, Ext2/3, ExFAT and unknown file systems are restricted to format, delete and wipe operations.
• Con: Business licensing splits company-wide use from billable client work, so technicians need the more expensive Technician tier for the latter.
• Con: The software is Windows-only, limiting its fit for users who need a cross-platform editor.

Verdict

AOMEI Partition Assistant is a strong choice for Windows users who want one utility for partition changes, disk migration and bootable media, with license options from a free personal tier to company-wide and technician editions. Choose another tool if you need broader operations on the file systems it limits, a non-Windows workflow, or client-service rights without the Technician license.
