Advice on moving a partition

On my previous PC, I used Gparted (GParted -- A free application for graphically managing disk device partitions) to move, create and redimension partitions (especially C:)
As far as I remember it worked flawlessly. What I remember is that moving partition on the right to make room is very lengthy.
At the time, to avoid problems, I used an UPS, but I don’t know if it is required.
