How do I expand a partition?

I'm using Workstation 15.5 on a Windows 10 computer.

I expanded my VM disk so I have the following:

200MB (EFI)

79.22GB (System)

464MB (OEM)

50GB (Unallocated)

I want to swap the 464MB and 50GB partitions and expand the 79GB partition by 50GB. Ho do I do it?

Do you need the OEM partition?

In case it's not required you may delete it, which will then allow you to expand the data partition.

If you need it, you may use a 3rd-party tool like the gParted Live CD/ISO to move the OEM partition.

In any case create a snapshot prior change things, so that you can easily revert in case things don't work as expected.
