What is disk partition?
Disk partition itself suggests splitting of the hard disk into two. Splitting of hard drive allows you to run two OS on one mac like macOS and Windows and macOS betas too. It simply divides the total storage of hard drive into two and allocates equally. But if you are running out of storage, then I would suggest not to install two different programs or go for an external hard drive instead.
Before You Start
Before you partition hard drive equally, take backup and prevent data loss. The simple and quick way to back up mac is Time Machine. Check you should have at least 30GB free storage to run the second OS, and if you can free up to 50GB, then it is best.
