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. > On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 12:19 AM Lennart Sorensen < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> On Sat, Mar 27, 2021 at 03:04:11PM -0400, Jim Ruxton via talk wrote: >> > I have a partitioning question I am hoping someone can help with.
