Linux and Windows dual boot – resize partitions with GParted

Increase partition size for Linux, when Linux and Windows are installed on the same harddisk or SSD.
We use GParted to repartition the harddisk and change the partition sizes for Windows and Linux.

Hi Andy, I was searching for this after creating a dual boot machine. I rarely have to do any work with partitions (even less so with Linux), so this video was 100% what I needed.

I followed your instructions and now my Linux partition is double the size. Thank you for such a great video!

As a begginer ubuntu user, I had no idea what I was doing when I allocated 28 gigs for my linux sys partition. Just like
balgxmr I was searching for a fix like this and here we are. Problem solved. You are the best! Kudos!

Worked as it should! In my case I had to use MBR but everything else was as on the video. Thank you for clear and detailed tutorial.

So straightforward and yet thorough. Great job, I will keep an eye on the rest of your work. Greetings from ARG ;)

Thank you very much - this solved my exact problem. I first freed up space on the windows side because I was worried GParted wouldn't play nice with Windows. Thanks for clarifying the confusing key table option during start up. I did not have to reinstall Grub/dual boot either. I took out the USB too soon after exiting GParted, causing all sorts of error messages, but nothing was affected.

Thank you so much! I was frustrated for days until I found this video.

I finally did it, it's 23:23 here and I spent the whole day investigating about this. Thank you so much!!

[samot]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, went perfectly well. The only thing that I think it lacked on commenting was when exiting the Gparted, we need to choose the option 'Reboot'. Besides that, solid tutorial, the best one I could find!!
