I previously had Windows 10 and Ubuntu both installed on my system. My Windows 10 got corrupted so I decided to reinstall windows on C Drive (/dev/sda8). But it gave me an error so I decided to format C-Drive and then install Windows 10. Unfortunately, I am still unable to install Windows 10.

I am able to boot into Ubuntu and this is my Partitions in GParted- :

Partitions on GpartPartitions on Gpart

I've deleted the old partitions created by windows so that I could install it fresh.

Now what I've tried is that I created a bootable Windows 10 USB using WoeUSB on Ubuntu and attempted to install Windows 10.

This is the error I got - " Windows detected that the EFI System Partition was formatted as NTFS. Format the EFI System partition as FAT32 and restart the installation. "

After searching on the internet I found that I've to delete all partitions and then convert the disk into MBR to install windows 10.

But I really don't want to delete partition /dev/sda10 which is my D: Drive containing only data and /dev/sda9 which has Ubuntu.

/dev/sda2 and /dev/sda7 both has the ubuntu bootloader

My system is UEFI based and Secure boot is off and I have no idea whether WoeUSB creates MBR or GPT bootable USB.

Is there any solution to install windows 10 without losing all partitions?

Edit: I tried this solution - Link by user @grawity

sudo gdisk /dev/sda8 gave this as output- :
