How do I allocate more space to Linux partition?

Right click on the partition of interest and select “resize/move”. Make sure you are cognizant of where the partition has data (data is yellow and “assumed” empty is white) and avoid shrinking any partition where there is no white space left!

How do I add more space to an existing partition?

You can enter the tool by right-clicking This PC > Manage > Disk Management. When there is unallocated space next to the partition you want to add the unallocated space into, just right-click the partition and choose Extend Volume.
