To decrease the size of a partition and create or enlarge another partition, you would need software. In the past, you would have to delete the partition table (and all your data as a part of doing this) and create a new partition table with the desired partition sizes. But for many years now, there has been software available to allow you to modify things on the fly without deleting everything first, though you should always have backups just in case the process goes wrong.
Windows XP and higher does have a built-in partition manager. You would have to go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management. But if that doesn't work or you want to try something else, there is software you can purchase or even get for free. Partition Manager is one that has been around for a long time, but it is commercial and is probably not available by that name anymore. EASEUS Partition Manager is one that is free for noncommercial use and which also has commercial versions you can purchase. On those, you can resize existing partitions, add and delete partitions, copy and move partitions, etc.
