You recently removed your Windows partition and are trying to resize your Linux partition. It’s understandable to feel unsure about the process, especially since you heard it might cause issues. You mentioned needing to copy the partition before resizing and that the layout matters. Let me help clarify how to approach this.

Move the information to the left side and then extend it to the right. This task can't be performed while the system is running or booted from a live USB. Don't forget to back up any crucial data just in case issues arise, even though it shouldn happen.

This refers to dragging the item leftward within the user interface.

Select the desired partition, then opt for "resize/move" and extend it to cover the entire space.

I shifted the partition to the left, adjusted its size to occupy available space, and now the computer won't start because it can't locate the boot manager. Do you know any steps to resolve this issue?

I performed that action, but encountered a "nvram locked" issue and it failed.

EFI bootloaders often require more space than initially assigned, and many users leave a small unused area at the beginning of the disk to prevent overwriting the bootloader.
