After nine months of not having booted my Windows even once, I think it’s time to wipe the Windows related partitions once and for all and claim the space. The problem is I think the way my partitions are structured, it may not be that easy. I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go. What do you think? r/linux4noobs -
Someone even suggested I nuked the whole thing and started again, which would be the absolute last resort and only when I ran out of space.
How would you resize
/homeupwards with/boot/efistanding in the middle?You can freely move partitions/free space when the partition is unmounted. That’s why the last guy recommended a live disk, so that all your partitions would be unmounted.
It is worth noting you can only move partitions into a empty space larger enough for the full partition. Its a copy/delete process not a shift process.
In this case it should work. Delete first two windows partitions. Then move the Linux boot to first part. Then move the root partition Then move the home partition Then finally expand the home partition to the rest of the disk.
You will probably need to fix grub and do an initfs(?) Since the order of partitions have changed.
