hello there, you're dealing with a situation where your 350GB hard drive has three partitions, one of which is already Xubuntu. during the custom installation process, you're encountering an issue where Windows can't be installed on this specific partition. it seems the partition might be marked as unidentifiable, possibly a GPT partition. you're wondering how to resolve this problem.

No, you should not keep xubuntu. Just remove the partition in the Windows installer.

You must avoid placing Xubuntu and Windows in the same partition. Either use another partition or remove Xubuntu to free up space. The Windows 10 installer will let you format partitions if needed.

Obtain another disk and set up Windows there. To start, press F9 during boot and choose the desired drive. If you wish to install Windows on the new disk, delete the existing Xubuntu partition first and allow Windows to handle it automatically. Be aware this will erase all your files, so ensure you have a backup.
