Linux in dual boot with Windows a little too much memory reserved? No problem with GParted we can shrink the Linux partition and give Windows more space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you install Linux alongside Windows, you can specify during the installation how much disk space is available for each operating system. The Linux installer partitions the hard disk, sets up a boot loader and both operating systems run in parallel.<\/p>\n

The partitioning is fixed for now. If you find that the disk space for a system is no longer sufficient, you can use GParted to change the partitioning afterwards. So here on the blog, we’ve already looked at how we can retroactively increase the Linux partition<\/a>. But does the reverse also work? More memory for Windows, less for Linux? Yes, that is possible, GParted helps us here as well.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Be sure to create a backup of your system before performing the actions.<\/p>\n
