AOMEI Partition Assistant

Overview

AOMEI Partition Assistant is Windows software for reorganizing disk partitions and handling selected disk and operating-system tasks. It is best suited to Windows home users and IT professionals who need both routine partition changes and migration or cloning tools. Its breadth is useful, but the restricted operations for several file systems and the range of business licenses call for a careful edition choice.

Key features

The core tools cover creating, deleting, merging, splitting, resizing and moving partitions. For everyday Windows disk reorganization, that is a practical set of operations in one utility. It also migrates an operating system to an SSD, clones a system disk, converts system disks between MBR and GPT, and creates bootable media, giving it a stronger case for users preparing a disk change than a partition editor limited to rearrangement.

It works with storage devices recognized by Windows, including HDDs, SSDs, USB disks, NVMe drives, RAID and NAS. The listed file systems include NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, ReFS, Ext2/3 and ExFAT, but the latter group is not supported for full partition work: on ReFS, Ext2/3, ExFAT and other unknown file systems, operations are limited to formatting, deleting and wiping. That is a meaningful constraint if those are the file systems you need to manage.

The demo exposes all functions and lets users simulate operations; upgrading to a paid edition activates them. Supported operating systems span Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Server 2025.

Pricing

The free Standard edition provides free partition-management features for a Windows PC. It is the sensible starting point for home users with basic needs, but it does not include the paid-edition activation of all features.

• Professional Yearly: 49.95 USD per year for one license covering 2 PCs. A lower upfront commitment than a lifetime purchase, but it is limited to two computers.
• Professional Lifetime: 59.95 USD per once for lifetime use and upgrades on 2 PCs. It suits an individual who expects to keep using the tools beyond a short period.
• Professional Family Lifetime: 89.95 USD per once for 5 PCs. This is the broader household option without moving to a business license.
• Server Yearly: 169.00 USD per year for 2 servers; Server Lifetime: 199.00 USD per once for 2 servers with lifetime upgrades. These fit small server estates, with the lifetime option avoiding an annual term.
• Unlimited Yearly: 399.00 USD per year for unlimited PCs and servers within one company; Unlimited Lifetime: 599.00 USD per once with lifetime upgrades for the same company-wide scope. These are aimed at organizations deploying internally across many machines.
• Technician Yearly: 599.00 USD per year for unlimited PCs and servers, with billable technical services for clients; Technician Lifetime: 799.00 USD per once, also with lifetime upgrades and client-service rights. This is the relevant tier for service providers, not simply a larger household license.

The maker states that it offers a 90-day unconditional money-back guarantee and lifetime free technical support by email. It also advertises 256-bit SSL secure ordering. Its privacy policy says personal information is not sold and is collected for specified purposes such as support tickets and orders.

Platforms

AOMEI Partition Assistant is for Windows. It supports Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Server 2025, and can work with storage Windows recognizes, from USB and NVMe devices to RAID and NAS.

Who it's for

Choose it if you need a Windows partition utility that also covers OS migration, system-disk cloning, partition-table conversion and bootable media. The free edition is a reasonable entry point for basic PC partition work; families, server administrators and technicians should match the paid license to their device count and whether they serve clients. It is a poor fit when full operations on ReFS, Ext2/3 or ExFAT are central to the job.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Partition changes sit alongside migration, cloning, MBR/GPT conversion and bootable-media creation, reducing the need to split common disk tasks across utilities.
• Pro: License choices scale from a free PC edition to company-wide and client-service tiers, with lifetime options for several plans.
• Con: ReFS, Ext2/3, ExFAT and unknown file systems are restricted to format, delete and wipe operations, limiting its usefulness for broader work on those volumes.
• Con: The professional, server and business tiers have different seat scopes and service rights; a buyer must distinguish personal use from company deployment or billable client work.

Verdict

AOMEI Partition Assistant is a strong fit for Windows users who want partition management and migration-related tools under one license, with options from a free PC edition to company-wide deployment. Its file-system restrictions are the clearest reason to look elsewhere, and business buyers should select carefully between internal-use and client-service licenses.
