No offence taken, but it won't work, and may bork Len's Windows.
Those first 4 partitions are a standard I have seen with many manufacturers, who make four partitions for Windows (usually on a BIOS/MBR rig, to make it difficult to install another OS, in this case Linux.
Len's rig, though is UEFI/GPT and so he is OK.
/dev/sda7 is the only legitimate Swap partition, and you can see that with the entry under File System header of linux-swap and the reddish colour to the box beside it.
The "swaps" at /dev/sda8 and /dev/sda10 are not real Swap partitions, being in Ext4, and even if they were real they are unnecessary, but the fstab entries might reveal something illuminating.
I am of the opinion now that Len is better off blowing away everything beyond /dev/sda4, that is /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda11, and starting from scratch, with one Linux first, consuming all remaining space, and this can then be carved back to introduce another Linux with care.
To do that, though, we have to be able to sort out the issue of a bootable USB stick being recognised under UEFI and not having to toggle to CSM Legacy. As long as that is a stumbling block, we won't be able to get a Grub Menu that accommodates Windows as well as Linux.
That is why I have asked after other USB sticks, and I am thinking of Andy @captain-sensible with his Ventoy or else perhaps a Rufus under Windows, to burn a Linux to.
Rufus 3.11 is out now, and it supports Persistence, which Andy was talking about, also.
