I just use kde's build in gui partition tool. It's pretty similar to Windows, except you make all the changes then finalize everything instead of finalizing every choice at each step.

Cool what's it called. Can I install it on mint?

KDE partition manager. And I believe so. Not sure if you need full KDE plasma, or if you can just install kde-applications package
