## Match the operation to the edition

For an existing installation, consult its exact manual for supported partition operations, disk layouts and recovery media. Edition names alone do not prove that an operation is available or appropriate for a business deployment.

## Protect data before partition work

Keep a verified backup on another physical device before moving or resizing partitions. Disk management is not a replacement for file version history or a system-recovery image.
