Try the following.

Copy all your files to an external device (USB, DVD, or HDD).

Download and install Rufus: https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases/download/v4.6/rufus-4.6.exe

Download the Xubuntu ISO: https://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu/releases/24.04/release/xubuntu-24.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

Create a USB drive with the Xubuntu ISO using Rufus.

Check the computer's BIOS for UEFI boot and to ensure that it boots from the USB.

Boot the computer from the USB.

Start a live session of Xubuntu.

Once the boot is complete, open a terminal and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gparted
sudo gparted

From gparted, select the SDD.

Unmount the partitions from the last to the first.

Delete all partitions from the last to the first.

Create a new GPT partition.

In the free space, create a 512-megabyte partition, Efi-System partition (Fat32).

Next, create a 60-gigabyte partition, ext4 system.

Create another 8-gigabyte partition, swap system.

Create another remaining partition that you plan to use for Linux, ext4 system.

Apply the changes.

Close gparted.

Close the terminal.

Start the installation.

Choose manual partitioning and select:

Grub on the hard drive.

The 60-gigabyte partition for /

The 8-gigabyte partition for swap

And the remaining one for /home.

Continue with the installation.
