The system is indicating that it will remove partitions /dev/sda9, which is an ext4 partition and /dev/sda10, which is a swap partition.
Neither of those is a Windows Partitions.
You can run this command to see which partition has your Windows.
$ sudo fdisk -l
Windows is an ntfs partition.
This is an extract of the sudo fdisk -l from a computer in my shop:
$ sudo fdisk -l
