I am dual-booting win8 and xubuntu 14, but I only gave xubuntu 30gb space and decided to make it my primary os now.

I shrinked my windows volume and managed to free up around 300gb space.Now I would like to use this space to make a /home folder in Xubuntu and move my data there.

What could be the best solution to solve this? I would like to keep my xubuntu installed packages and configs so I would not have to start over.

Is it possible to make this 300gb space to /home partition under Xubuntu without reinstalling?

Yes, it is possible without reinstalling (or even rebooting for that matter).

First, you will need to create an empty ext4 partition in the free space, then move your /home there, and then modify a file called /etc/fstab to tell the system about your new home.

For detailed instructions, please follow this guide.
