Unless all partitions are data free- I wouldn't recommend doing anything. I tried that once to expand a populated partition with a free one. Bad move. It corrupted all my data and I had to retrieve my files one by one.

Copy all the necessary files to a separate disk and once the HDD is completely free- resize the partitions in any way you see fit.
