From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't you just clone the entire disk to a bigger one and then enlarge the partitions you want enlarged ?
If you do that youll have to also update the uuids in /etc/fstab to match the new drive.
Theyre gonna have to recreate the partitions anyway since I believe they stated they are not keeping windows.
Ah yes but that's it AFAIK
Only if you delete the partitions and create them new on the same blocks.
If you enlarge them, you should be fine.
