I'm finding my way around Linux quite nicely, now, and rarely use the W10 of the dual boot option.
I'm running Cinnamon Mint 20.2
A couple of questions.
Is there a command line to get Number Lock to turn on by default during startup?
How do I use GPart to allocate more space to the Linux partition from the Windows partition?
TIA

You will need to boot from a usb and run (g)parted from that. Your existing installation probably won’t be happy with having drives altered from within the running OS.

I only use Linux, but I don't think Windows will be happy after a reboot, when it sees a different partition size, it could rectify itself.

Windows should run whatever the modern chkdsk is and carry on.

Yes, I thought it could rectify itself. Obviously, backup any essential files before repartitioning.

Honestly, it’s not scary if you use the GParted mini distro. Is /home on its own partition? Is that the one you want to expand?
Sorry, only just seen this reply. I'll leave it as it is, thanks, unless I really need the space.
Info, please. It doesn't seem to affect anything, but just so I know!
It might say..

It means generally that there will be something in your laptop that isn't compatible with Linux - there might be a firmware update for your laptop.
If it's working I wouldn't worry too much.
Of course, we could have a look at the hardware and look it up! If you want to do that, open a terminal and type:

Paste what you get back into the thread.
The only thing I know that doesn't work is the touchpad. It's OK with Windows.
Have you seen this?
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=174755
I suspect the touchpad is just switched off.
There's nothing glaringly obvious that is the root of the cause, but I doubt it is a problem that will affect you. You probably need a firmware update, although Toshiba probably haven't done one.
