. . . reparitioning is hard . . .
I've used EASEUS Partition Manager to repartition a couple of times. The Home version is free (32-bit only, 64-bit is not free). Makes repartitioning a breeze. Ideally you shouldn't have to repartition, but if you're running out of space you'll need to.
Honestly, multiple partitions is high maintenance and not necessary (for Windows anyway). I won't go that route again. A separate physical drive (ideally SSD) for the OS and programs (C: drive), and then another physical drive (or two) for all your important data. That's the way to go.
Don't forget externals or a docking station w/internals (my method) for backups. And backup often. I do backups nightly.
