I am planing to remove my windows completely and planning to install ONLY Ubuntu on my laptop from scratch.
I want to make 3 different partitions other than the /home ( As it was in windows D: E: F:)
I already know how to give swap,root,ESP,home partitions,
Can anyone tell how to make 3 more partitions of ext4 format(basically i need to store data on em like i did on windows) and should it be primary or logical and which directory to allot.
Also if anyone may help me with how windows parition scheme and ubuntu parition schemes are different. I need the theory cuz I am a bit curious.) Thanks!

What you can do is select manual partitioning, create the partitions you want to use, and then set their mountpoints as the folder locations you want them to appear at, ie/parts/partition1,/parts/partition2Ubuntu handles this pretty well, and will generate an fstab that reflects this scheme.

The way things work differently on Unix vs Windows with regard to interaction with partitions is that Windows follows a multiple root, single level mountpoint system. You have multiple root directories, each in the root of a mounted partition, and they are not mountable or accessible anywhere else. On Unix (this includes Linux) a binding system is used. This means that a partition can be put anywhere, mounted anywhere. I could have a data partition actually appear as though it is a folder inside my ~/Desktop folder. You only ever have one local root.
