I had someone build my desktop and they installed a free version of Windows, which has limited my usage. Now I've purchased Windows Home from Best Buy and I'm trying to install it, but I encountered a pop-up during the process. Can anyone advise me on the best options to proceed with the installation?

If you're encountering issues, consider using a USB flash drive. Download the Windows recovery and set it up on the USB. This way, you can eliminate those strange partitions and reallocate everything to one drive. The setup screen should resemble what you shared.
It looks like your disk 1 is a 64GB SSD. That should be sufficient for Windows 11 since I've seen the Windows folder take up around 30GB. Just ensure you install new programs on a larger drive if you have one.
It seems like you have one drive available. I recommend deleting everything on disk 0 and performing the installation on that drive. This will give you a clean slate.
Yeah, Windows typically settles around 30GB, so you should be okay. Just manage your additional apps on the larger drive.
