I bought a refurbished ThinkPad T430 which has windows10 installed. Before I
repartition the HDD I want to confirm that, because UEFI is in firmware on
the motherboard I can wipe the disk, repartition it, then install
Slackware64-15.0.

The HDD now has four partitions: sda1 is windoze recovery, sda2 is EFI
system, sda3 is MS reserved, and sda4 is MS basic data.

My only (U)EFI experience is the desktop which had a new SSD installed. It
has three partitions: sda1 holds /boot/efi, sda2 holds swap, and sda3 holds
/.

I plan to wipe the existing four partitions on the T430 and repartition with
partitions for /boot/efi, swap, /, and /home.

Is there anything wrong with my approach (no comments about which distro to
install, please).
