Assuming you don't want to keep anything, select delete on all the partitions. Then you can create a single new NTFS partition that takes up the whole drive, and install Windows on that.0

Even today it's better to split the disk into logical drives - one for the programs, one for the data - so that if OP ever has to do this again they don't lose all their dataAssuming you don't want to keep anything, select delete on all the partitions. Then you can create a single new NTFS partition that takes up the whole drive, and install Windows on that.
I'd suggest a 25GB C drive for Windows and other programs with a D drive taking up the rest of the disk0 -
