EXT partition can be any size you want, but no less than minimum size recommended by Ubuntu. Tip: The Windows’ Disk Management equivalent in Linux is called GParted.

Why is Ubuntu not booting after installing Windows?
Deleting the Ubuntu partition visible in Disk Management and reinstalling Ubuntu might fix it.

The real problem is likely the UEFI system.
