Resize Your Linux Partition in Dual Boot with Windows

In this video, we have an important tutorial for those of you who are running a dual-boot setup with Linux and Windows. We'll be showing you step-by-step how to resize your Linux partition using GParted, a powerful partition manager for Linux. This will allow you to allocate more space or make adjustments without affecting your Windows installation.

Fix Grub Not Showing for Windows and Linux Dual Boot System | System Boots Straight to Windows

[youtube.user.]

Thank you so much, it worked for me. I shrank my Windows partition and had my Linux 1gb (EFI?) partition to the left of my Linux partition. I used Gparted from elementary OS and I moved the 1gb partition to the left such that the unallocated space which I shrank in Windows was to the left of my Linux partition. I then resized the Linux partition as shown in the video and IT WORKED PERFECTLY!

No GRUB boot issues or anything!

Thanks, this was helpful. In case someone is unable to allocate the unallocated space to the filesystem, you need to move the unallocated space next to filesystem (either on left or right)

Your explanation was amazing.
It was easy for me to follow and worked without issues.
Thank you very much, and keep up your work.
Make more videos like this to address general Linux issues.
🥰🤗

Thanks, you saved me! (Video, though is a bit old, the interface is a bit different, but this guide still works fine)

[ashique]

Your process is really simple and straightforward. Thank you 👍

WARNING TO USERS:

This works, HOWEVER there should also be an explanation of what will happen when you do resize the storage,

When you do finish this and reboot, you will have the GNU GRUB menu...
Meaning you CANNOT boot into anything.

Which means that you have to go to redirect the PATH of the bootloader...

With my case Im still trying to figure this out however youll need to go into windows and redirect the path using CMD and there are a few more things to do from there, but just a FYI bc if I would have known this I would have gone about it another way. A lot of people dont know that there needs to be additional instructions which should have been mentioned at the very least.

Thanks very much, super easy and useful tools for managing disk parts.

[Naldjei]

Thank you, Man! It worked just great for me.

[MatiMachine]

it works perfect, nice tutorial, only necessary information

[kirill_levin]

Nice! Thank you very much! It worked smoothly. Appreciate your help.

[thiagob.]

Thanks Zac. It was very useful and worked pretty well for me!

5:09 till here every thing was okay but after entering Gparted Live (default settings) screen blacked out showing nothing?? What to do?

[macromunji]

This worked, awesome. I used this for my Linux Mint 21 and Windows 10 dual setup.

[epiccomedy]

This is a great tutorial, but I still have trouble understanding what partition is Linux or not. On Drive 0 (C-Drive) it all says letters and numbers on the 'Type' whenever I use 'diskpart.'

[MrMii-pjuq]

I dont get ubuntu option when the pc starts anymore. Only getting windows 11 option. Also in windows my drive-D is gone.

[turuus]

How long do we have to wait after pressing enter in 5:20? I see a command line trying to run something.

[jeffwoodard]

How do know which partion is root and home? Thank you?

[SUl-AC]

I’m a little confused because I shrank the windows Partion but it won’t let me give that space to Linux it’s just not an option

[victortesla]

You could have saved 30 min of your life if you resized window before you move ubuntu and then move ubuntu over the whole 40+150 gbs

[kaiservonfox]

Nice but I'm trying to do this from Ubuntu...
