The freeware Home Edition will run on almost anything from Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. First things first: shut down your Pi safely (how you do this will depend on the OS you’re running for Raspbian, it’s just sudo shutdown now in the command line) and remove your microSD card. This program requires you to understand partitions, and how to configure them, however if you were new, then the graphical interface is very intuitive to use. Here’s how to back up your Raspberry Pi’s SD card on Windows, macOS, or Linux and how to restore it from that backup, too. Another alternative is to use a USB memstick for tranferring the files. This will allow you to copy files over the network to the pi using windows program like WinSCP.
I thought that the MiniTool Partition Wizard 7.5 (Home Edition - Freeware) was the easiest to use as it has a nice graphical user interface, and shows you the partitions graphically. I will suggest that you enable the SSH service on the Pi, using the 'sudo raspi-config' and look under 'interfacing options'. There is also Rawwrite DD, which is a windows based command line partitioning program, which is not ideal for beginners who may not even know what a partition was. It is a magic wand style program where you hit the format button and it does all the work for you. SD Formatter 4.0 has improved since I last used it and appears to fix many size issue problems.
If you have a certain brand of memory card, then it is a good idea to check the manufacturer’s website first for the official software and utility. There are many freeware programs and utilities on the Internet, which can delete Linux partitions and create DOS partitions.
