Partitioning for Linux Mint 21.1

Post by pauloz »

Hello
I need to reinstall Linux Mint 21.1 on to my laptop. The computer repairer reinstalled Windows for me (would not boot) and has created a separate D drive for LM (see attachment) but it's presently in NTFS format. Could you please advise the steps I need to take? I only have a patchy understanding of partitioning. Do you recommend a Home partition in addition to the Root partition when I commence the installation process and if so, what size for each?
Thanks - any help is appreciated.
Paul
