Hello! Smile
You need to study thoroughly the difference between BIOS firmware, which uses MSDOS partitioning mode and UEFI, which uses GPT partitioning mode.
Then you need to delete all partitions, then CREATE A NEW GPT PARTITION TYPE.
After changing the partition type from MSDOS to GPT (or GUID), you can proceed to create the logical drives, as described in the manual:

You have to understand the difference between the two types of partitioning.
After this, you can proceed installing Linux Lite, as described in UEFI install, in the above mentioned manual.
You need to take care on what type of image you choose at boot time. You have to press F12 (usually, it largely depends on machine's firmware manufacturer so read computer's User's Guide on firmware and boot options) to show the boot menu provided by the firmware at POST.
You also need to reinstall Windows as long as you want dual boot.
I can point you at a video I made some time ago on GPT partitioning, but my primary language is Romanian and it might prove confusing.
I found something in English though...
