How can I grow my Windows partition when the unallocated space is not next to it? I am only allowed to shrink the windows partition, not expand it.

It's not possible to grow a partition into space that's not adjacent to it. As such, you need to move the other partitions to make the free space adjacent to it. In your case, this means moving /dev/sda5 to the "right". Once you perform this move, the free space will be adjacent to /dev/sda3 and you'll be able to grow it.
