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.

HTH,
