[1] I am not sure why Windows is using two small partitions + one big, but the
computer came with that, and I just shrank the big partition to make room for
linux.
The reason why Windows does that is so that the recovery tools and boot
manager are always available in the first 100MB or so of the hard drive
(I've seen Windows 10 dedicate over 500MB for "System Reserved" which is
overkill). It's not the most convenient option for them, but it beats
having to get a Windows DVD out anytime there's a problem that prevents
the operating system from booting.
