I also made the same mistake. My partition is 32 gigs, way to small. How hard is it to start over?

Do you have a link?

You do not have to re-create the partition. Download and use the free preview version of CampTune from Paragon software. It will non-destructively allow you to increase or decrease your Boot Camp partition.

Download from here.

or you can use winclone to make an image of your bootcamp drive.
Then recreate it, then copy it back.
