For any future issues you might want to take a look at gparted. You can resize and reformat disk volumes with comparative ease. I've used it many times without losing data and without having to resort to my backups.

I don't use MS windows so I can't speak to keeping that os functionally intact when moving stuff around.
I have moved linux stuff from disk to disk on my desktop to grow storage and add distributions over the years with very few puzzlements.
I have resized ntfs and fat data partitions with no real issues but I usually practiced this stuff beforehand on a machine other than my daily driver.
I think the few times I have resized ntfs with gparted it has usually worked, although back in the vista days it did break booting but it seems that was fixed long ago. -- Len Sorensen
