If it's a tricky / dangerous operation I think I'll forget it, I can live with just 108gb for LL.
Since the disk is laid out in this fashion..
You can confirm in GPARTED You can right click and choose resize, but only on Windows and Swap - as they reside next to the unallocated on the disk..
You could remove the swap making it part of the unallocated, extend the LL partition from the new total (leave some for swap) then recreate swap (from the last remaining unallocated)....
You would need to 'swapoff' which is an option (rt click) in the GUI prior....
Then delete swap
Extend LL
Create a new partition for swap - make sure you choose linux-swap (not ext4)
Then process/proceed (arrow up top)
When complete -- 'swapon' (rt click)
I did just test this on my set up.. Just the swap portion..
But I increased swap from 1.86gb to 2gb (2048mb)
No harm
