Disk Management is included in every Windows OS version and is the safest way to shrink and create a partition. There is literally no risk even with a power failure.

For operations which Disk Mgmt cannot do, we use Free Partition Wizard which works best with Win7 and has Data Protection so it won't fail but just start over until you stop it during countdown after restart.
