I would like to use Ubuntu without deleting or erasing my Windows partition. Which option should I choose?

Erase Ubuntu 22.04.3 and reinstall:

Erases Ubuntu(Only) and reinstalls in that erased space

Install Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS alongside Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

Creates a new partition with the provided free space and installs in that partition.

Erase disk and install Ubuntu

Erases the whole hard drive and installs Ubuntu

Something else

Displays a disk partition manager to choose the disk partition layout you would like to have.

I Recommend to backup your system on the existing install before you proceed any further. For your requirements, I would suggest using the 1st option.

But there are alternatives to this, such as doing sudo do-release-upgrade in your existing installation. Make sure you have set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. Simply edit it using sudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and saving it using Ctrl + S.
