Boot a live image from USB, copy /home to a separate physical disk preserving ownerships and permissions, and save anything from the windows partitions that you want you keep. Once you’ve verified the copy is good delete all the original partitions on the screenshot. From here you install from scratch. You’ll appreciate it later when things aren’t a jumbled mess. If you have any kind of ssd install the OS to that instead, then use that spinning drive for /home. If you have two ssd drives do /home on the second one and use the spinning one for longer term storage like music or videos or the like. Also don’t put your swap partition on an ssd, use the spinning drive for it so you’re not wearing out the ssd. You can do a swap file instead of a partition if you miss the windows way. 😆
