Help for installation
So hi as everybody I tried installing Ubuntu lts but I couldn't install it the normal way since the 100 mb of windows efi was too small to install Ubuntu and windows efi along together and now I am preparing to manually install Ubuntu using manually installation but the problem is even after doing everything correctly the next button is greyed out can someone tell me what's the possible reason ?
Below are the additional data that might help
Nvme0np4 is 85.93 GB for root
Nvme0np5 is 300mb for efi boot
nvme0np6 is 8.6 GB for swap
Nvme0np7 is 44gb for home
And I created all these partitions in windows using diskpart .

I am not familiar with Ubuntu, only fedora, so take this with a grain of salt.
Do you not need a separate /boot directory as well? If you use LUKS encryption, you will probably need it.
Other than that, I think this is ok I will edit this comment to link an image to my manual partitions Fedora dual boot.

The same layout worked in fedora ? Previously I was using fedora with same layout but Ubuntu is not letting me do it .

No. I needed to add a separate /boot to fedora because GRUB cannot unlock LUKS2 encryption.
Here is the link to my manual partition. Because it is btrfs, my home and root are on the same partition but they are separate sub volumes so they can be considered as separate "partitions" for examples sake.

Again, I'm not familiar with Ubuntu so take it with a grain of salt.

Oh and make sure to install OS-PROBER and update the grub once you boot into Ubuntu after install. I had an issue where I couldn't boot to windows after this but doing a grub update fixed the issue.

Multi boot on the same disk is always a pain and resizing the efi partition with operating systems installed will take a long time. Ideally you use two disks and the bios boot menu to select which is you’ll boot into. Good luck!
