Couple questions and thoughts...
Are you wanting to dual boot?
- If so you need to flip between UEFI mode for Windows and Legacy for LL..
- If wiping Windows you don't have to go back to UEFI..
As mentioned Secureboot off, Legacy enable and Fast Boot turned off (from Windows) this hibernates your drive making install a pain..
If dual booting.. You should be installing to an empty partition..
- you may have have 2 or 3 for Windows already (C:, Recovery, maybe a reserved) within C or reserved one will also be the boot partition/boot manager.
What you need to remember is LL grub (boot manager) probably shouldn't reside on the same boot partition as Windows - its UEFI..
When installing LL are you installing "Along Side Windows" if so try "Something Else" and when you get to the part where to put the boot loader (device for boot loader installation) - choose the same partition as the LL install (none of the Windows)
This will keep the 2 (UEFI/BIOS) separated less problems when switching..
