How to resize partitions?

I am using a dual boot system with Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 8.1. So is it possible and how can I merge unallocated 123GiB which I freed in Windows from my D: Drive (/dev/sda2, ntfs) and move them to /dev/sda6 (84.75GiB, ext4)?

You can't do that. To merge non contiguous partitions you need to make your HDD a dynamic disk which Windows support but Linux don't

Don't merge them per se. Expand the extended partition, move up sda5, then expand sda6 into the new space.

You only have three primary partitions, so you could just make the unallocated another partition and mount it somewhere like /home, /usr/local/data,....

I did what @ubfan1 said in a comment:

So I did this in /home/plus_data. At the end of the day, the aim was to get more space.

Thanks
