   Rescue command? Sorry, what is that?

   Not "/root" but "/".   
      
      
   Also, "/boot" is not a requirement except on special cases, like some   
   raid setups, lvm, encryption, or XFS for root.   
      
   If you are using the default btrfs for the system, I would not use a   
   separate "/boot", because it plays badly with the snapshot feature   
   (allows to boot a previous version of the system after a disaster, for   
   recovery).   
      
      
      
   As you have installed Windows in UFI mode, you must also be sure that   
   Linux install media is also starting in UEFI mode. I'm not experienced   
   myself on UEFI installs, but the booting screen is different. I think it   
   misses the menu at the bottom.   
      
   I'm surprised that the installer can't do the partitioning. You should   
   only need empty space (not partitioned) and the installer will use just   
   that. Alternatively, leave a large enough empty partition in Windows and   
   tell Linux expert partition to use that space to create a partitioning   
   proposal. Sorry, I don't have a photo of the screen I'm thinking of or   
   I'd tell you the exact name.
