3) Services and Applications


The System Tools that are available in computer management are devie manager, task scheduler, event veiwer etc.

In storage management you will see option of disk management, where you can manage your hard disk. You will be able to see all of your partitions, memory allocated to each partition, file system etc. From there you can also shrink or merge 2 partitions. If you want to create a partition, simply right click on existing partition and click on shrink, and then select the amount you want to shrink, select File System, after formatting a new partition from your existing partition will be created.

The last part is services and applications where you will find Services, WMI Control.
