Hi friends. I switched to Fedora and been using it for several months now. I am now using it 90% of the time but do occasionally have to boot into Windows.

I have run into a space limitation, so I want to reallocate some disk space from Windows to Fedora.

I was able to successfully unallocated space from the Windows partition but haven’t been able to reallocate it to the Fedora partition.

Preferably using CLI as little as possible… 😫

Thanks in advance!

    I would recommend you back everything up before you do it

    that’s my secret: I’m always backed up.

    you would need to reduce the size of your windows partition.

    Already done

    so you may need to move your fedora partition to the left

    What does this mean?

      A disk is shown as a bar, each partition is 1 segment of the bar, if your Windows partition is located before your Linux one you would have to move the partition to the left of the bar after reducing the Windows one, because the partitions can only be extended to the right, so it will need a full partition moving to the left to get all of the newly empty space available, and then after moving you just expand the Fedora one.
