I tried to shrink Windows and then expand Ubuntu. I did shrink Windows from within Windows and I boot Ubuntu from USB to add that unallocated space to Ubuntu but I cant do it. The option doesn't show. Any idea how to complete the process?

Extend /sda3, move swap partition to the end of the free space. then you can grow your linux partition. – ravery Dec 16 '17 at 20:04

this is because the item you are trying to expand is inside a 'container'... the 'extended' partition...You have to extended the sda3 partition first so there is room for sda5 to expand.
