Step 4: Right-click on the unallocated space on your hard disk, and then select “New Simple Volume”
Step 5. In the New Simple Volume Wizard interface, click “Next”.
Step 6. Enter the size of the volume you want to create in MB or accept the default size, and then select “Next”.

Step 8: Set the default file system as NTFS, assign a label for your partition, and click “Next” to format the volume.
