Is it possible to add the unallocated space to extend the existing partition ?
Please see image below ?

My machine is a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Ubuntu and single 1 TB HDD. The unallocated space has been claimed from Windows by shrinking the C drive. I cannot add a new partition since I already have 4 partitions.

Any pointer to already published articles will also help.

It can be done with a few steps:

  1. Move sda3 to the left, the unallocated space will be adjacent to the extended partition sda4 then.

  2. Resize the extended partition sda4 on it's left side, the unallocated space will be inside the extended partion then.

  3. In the unallocated space in the extended partition you could create a logical partition or you could move sda5, sda6 and sda7 to the left and finally resize sda8 (I would recommend to create a logical partition, so you don't need to move so many partitions which will be time consuming).

Remind that you have to do this while booted from live-USB. It's also best to have reliable backups.
