It means, do whatever you want as long as you leave the special
FAT-format EFI System Partition alone. It's the one at the start of
the disk.

As for the rest, for more detail, well, you have not told us enough.

How is the disk partitioned at the moment? Is it GPT or MBR? Do you
want to keep Windows? Do you have a Windows recovery partition? Do you
have a system image partition? Do you want to keep them too?

If it's MBR, my recommenation is always:

[ESP] [Windows primary] { Extended partition (Ubuntu root) (Ubuntu
home) (Ubuntu swap) }

{} denotes the extended partition
() denotes logical drives

If it's GPT there are no primary/extended/logical partitions any more.
There are just partitions, all equal.

In which case, I suggest:

[ ESP ] [ Windows ] [ Ubuntu root ] [ Ubuntu home ] [ Ubuntu swap ]
