Windows | Gparted

You could install an X server and hack around it, but you will almost certainly crash your disk drivers. Avoid this method. Many new users search for gparted.exe or a native Windows port. It doesn’t exist – and for good reason. Partitioning a live OS drive (like C:) from within that same OS is a recipe for disaster. GParted’s developers wisely kept it as a bootable environment.

If you absolutely need a point-and-click Windows app, skip GParted and try AOMEI. But if you want a lightweight, fast, no-bloat partition editor that can save a seemingly dead disk – learn GParted Live. It takes 10 minutes to set up and will save you hours of headaches later.

GParted requires a graphical interface and direct hardware access to block devices. WSL does not support USB devices or raw disk access in a safe way for partition editing. You could install an X server and hack

Here are the three best ways to do it. This is the most common and reliable method. You create a bootable USB stick with GParted Live, boot your PC from it, and run GParted outside of Windows. This allows you to modify the C: drive itself (something no Windows tool can do while the OS is running). It doesn’t exist – and for good reason

So, can you run GParted on Windows? Not directly as an .exe file. But you can absolutely (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT) without installing Linux.
