Reboot the laptop with the linux distro and when it gets to the point of choice to install side by side tell it to erase and use the whole drive!!!no more unused windows options.

Hi

I think that you wanted to keep an option to boot into windows.
If this is the case you need to go into directory /etc/grub.d and look at file 30_os-prober
I'm sorry but I think you are going to have to use a terminal
(Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
After making any changes required run update-grub (sudo is required).

Please ask if you need help working out what to change.
