The real problem was/is the fact that after Windows 10 updates itself 
and then changes the BIOS to remove the boot order. Also it damage the 
GRUB boot software.

Yes, Gparted is a nice utility.  I have used it before and may use it 
again to tweak the partition size for Windows.  250 GB is more than I 
need for it.  The file explorer in Windows 10 shows the size is 232 GB 
and currently 199 GB free space.  On my oldest laptop had only a 256 GB 
internal drive, which I partitioned for dual booting with Win10 and 
Ubuntu. This 500 GB laptop [using now] is my default laptop since I have 
so much issues with the 17 inch / 1 TB one.

Last night I installed LibreOffice on Ubuntu, along with drivers for the 
printers and other software I use most often.

Right now I am scanning Windows 10 for any nasties that might have crept 
into Windows during the installs.  That laptop's 4 cores are running too 
hot. I had to pause the scan since one core went to 199 degrees and the 
other 3 was over 185 degrees.  This is why I sent it to the Warranty 
repair service and they told me that the fan and heat sink were 
replaced.  The funny thing - sort of - is that Ubuntu runs much cooler 
than Win10 on that laptop.

I hope I will not have as much problems in the future.
