More recently, the software giant has added a new modern disk management tool to the Settings, and the feature is already live for Insiders.
The modern solution is called "Manage Disks and Volumes" and Microsoft calls it a modern take on Windows 10's current disk management tool.
The new tool allows you to manage your hard disks and the volumes/partitions they contain, but the modern version is apparently limited and a lot of advance options are missing.
You can still create new volumes, assign drive letters, but unlike the classic disk management tool, the modern version cannot extend the volume partition or display your storage distribution in the form of a graphical representation.
When Microsoft first released the new disk management tool, some users found that it crashed when you attempted to launch it.
