I re-partitioned my Windows 10 (1TB), installed along side Ubuntu and allocated(40GB).
Now I would like to increase the size of my Ubuntu from 40GB => 200GB ?
FYI: Already installed gparted. Confused on what to do now.

Make sure that you have a good backup of your important Windows and Ubuntu files, as this procedure can corrupt or loose data.
This is a two part process. Resize the Windows NTFS partition, and move/resize the Ubuntu partition.
In Windows...
- temporarily disable the pagefile using the System control panel
- reboot
- defrag
- use the
Disk Managementapp to resize the Windows NTFS C: partition - open a
CMD(command) terminal with admin privs - issue a
chkdsk /f C:and confirm to do this on next reboot - reboot, observe
chkdskrunning - reboot and confirm that Windows still boots
- re-enable the pagefile
- reboot and confirm that Windows still boots
For Ubuntu...
Keep these things in mind:
always start the entire procedure with issuing a
swapoffon any mounted swap partitions, and end the entire procedure with issuing aswaponon that same swap partitiona move is done by pointing the mouse pointer at the center of a partition and dragging it left/right with the hand cursor
a resize is done by dragging the left/right side of a partition to the left/right with the directional arrow cursor
if any partition can't be moved/resized graphically, you may have to manually enter the specific required numeric data (don't do this unless I instruct you to)
you begin any move/resize by right-clicking on the partition in the lower pane of the main window, and selecting the desired action from the popup menu, then finishing that action in the new move/resize window
Do the following...
Note: if the procedure doesn't work exactly as I outline, STOP immediately and DO NOT continue.
- boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
- start
gparted - move /dev/sda6 partition all the way left
- resize the right side of /dev/sda6 all the way right
- click the Apply icon
- reboot
