You need to boot from Ubuntu LiveUSB first.

Your sda5, sda6 and sda7 partitions are inside the extended sda4 partition.

You will need to extend sda4, then move sda5 and sda6 left, then extend sda7.

You will also need to re-install grub, because start sector of your /boot partition will change. It can be done from LiveUSB by

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/boot
sudo chroot /mnt
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
exit
