Reformating an unused partition should be trivial.
It seems that at post #2 you had a 'working' dual boot system but with something unusual going on before the grub menu and in the logs.
But, from the log posted in post #2
The inference from posts #1 and #3 is that converting the ext4 data partition (or maybe updating kernel) triggers the system to fail to boot with a specific x509 error.
In your position, I'd be tempted to concentrate on getting the dual booting working properly by resolving or mitigating the x.509 -65 error before grub. The suspicion is that it is related to UEFI and secure boot and possibly kernel update post install.
Edit - addition
Can't find anything particularly concrete, but there are suggestions that the -65 error might be related to disk problems.
