In Windows 10, I made a 42GB Partition for Ubuntu.
I now need to increase the Ubuntu partition (and decrease the Windows partition).
Should I do this in Windows or Ubuntu?

Shrink the partition in Windows then reclaim the space in Ubuntu is easiest I could think of to avoid inconveniences like bitlocker and linux not playing nice with NTFS (from experience).
I have reduced the Windows partition by 21 GB
But I cannot 'Resize' the Ubuntu partition from (approx) 42GB to 63 GB. It won't go any higher than 41.9 GB, even if I type it in e,g 50GB

Are you booting from a live USB? Should be possible with gparted to extend disk to the left, but it takes longer as it just moves the contents to the free space and resizes it after.
