Sad to say that although you didn’t choose the first option, erase all data, it looks like you then manually told the installer to do something quite similar. All you seem to have left is the EFI partition and the Microsoft reserved partition. The installer will have used Linux filesystems so your NTFS filesystems were overwritten. It may be that data recovery tools may be able to recover stuff but the more you use your new Ubuntu installation the less data may be there to recover

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
