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. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted/amp... 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 have a partitioning question I am hoping someone can help with. I have 2 hard drives in my laptop , a SSD and a standard hard drive. I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. Here is an image of my partitions from gparted. The top is my SSD and the bottom is my other drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7Rcn1_W95Z1PlV122IhPdR1VXJFxkAJ/view?usp=s... < https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7Rcn1_W95Z1PlV122IhPdR1VXJFxkAJ/view?usp=s...

My Linux system except for Home (which has it's own partition on the other drive) is on the SSD as well as Windows. I'm running out of room on the Windows partition on the SSD. I have other partitions on the other drive that has lots of space. Is there a way I can allocate some of that to Windows? For example as you can see in the image I have an ntfs data partition of 100 Gigs that is almost empty. Any way to take some of

share it with the Windows SSD partition? Otherwise what would people recommend to give Windows more space based on what I have available. I should also probably move some of my Linux out of the SSD but not sure what? I assume if I do move stuff I would need to do it from gparted running on a USB stick? Thanks for your suggestions.
I guess getting a larger NVMe drive isn't an option?
