And you could use gparted which was suggested earlier, 
and we too have used with sucess. (Do back-up  first.) 

But you asked for the " easiest way to do this  without buying any 3rd 
party software", 
and in a similar situation we are solving it by installing a second 
hard drive. 
and using grub to dual boot. 

In our case the new hard drive will be internal along with the "slave 
Windows C-drive", 
but we could have used an external hard drive (or a USB drive) if there 
had not been a free bay.
