You basically can NOT do that. Why? Because you already have three primary and one extended partition. IF you shrink sda2 and then FORCE the creation of another partition in Win7 Disk Management, it will convert your partitions to Dynamic Disks -- something you do NOT want to do.
The current sda4/5/6/7 I will try to combine to one data partition (NTFS).
They're already ALL inside a single Extended partition -- so that won't give you the ability to create another partition in and of itself.
Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.
