How do I increase the partition size of my ubuntu 18.04 via gparted [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

How to resize partitions?

4 answers

Here's the screenshot of my gparted window, I want to increase the size of my ubuntu partition (60.41 GB) using the unallocated size.

How do I achieve this? I have dual boot with Windows 10.

ss of gparted

If possible, it would be preferred if the solution does not involve using a live CD/Pen drive (kind of urgent and I don't have one)

Edit:
My resize option is showing disabled for ext4 even though I have unallocated just above it. Should it be below it? If yes then how do I achieve that?

Thank you :)

You can't resize the partition/drive when you are using it. So, you need a Live CD or Pen drive.

You can't resize the partition/drive when you are using it. So, you need a Live CD or Pen drive.

You need to move it first, just grab the partition and drag it to the left, then resize it.

No way!! That will cause complete boot failure, if that partition contains /boot

And that's easy to repair with a live USB. And from the look of it none of the partitions on /dev/sdb seems to have a /boot partition.
