Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

If you are asking the question probably better to keep Windows. Only those who have used Linux for a while and know what works and what only partially works but is acceptable and do not want Windows software then erase Windows. We get many users wanting to reinstall Windows as one game or application they must have is only available in Windows. It took me 5 years to totally wean myself off Windows. And then I had to add a Windows system to watch DRM protected streaming TV shows. :(

It depends on what you want. Totally erasing Windows 10 means that you'll have to reinstall, update, configure, and install all your old windows apps again. This can take hours, so I recommend keeping a backup Windows image.
A side by side dual boot of Ubuntu and Windows on the same machine is usually what most users go for. Though you'll likely encounter minor issues, such as with the system time on Windows 10 if you do this.
