It's dual boot: Fedora-38 and windows-7.
I seriously doubt that the /boot partition can be made larger, but I'm no sys.admin. and I could be wrong.
Dual boot doesn't matter. /boot is only used by Linux, and generally isn't ever mounted when you're using Windows. And yes, you can make it larger using parted or GParted, but you'd have to boot from a LiveUSB for that and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're either comfortable moving and resizing partitions or desperate enough to get more space into it and in either case, only after making a full backup.
I wrestled for many days this past fall trying to make a working LiveUSB. Couldn't get it to work. I was able to establish that neither the sticks nor the ports were the problem.
BTW, I have a python script that prunes the old kernels in /boot, leaving you with only the most recent one. It was provided by Fedora back in '11, if you're worried about programs by unknown third parties. If you want, I can email it to you; ask off-list if you want it.

Jeffrey provided a script in his post. I also have the commands from a clean-up-kernels thread I had in December. But thank-you for your offer.
