I think I'll just delete all the linux partitions, and delete the

What's the worst that can happen?

Well, that solved it. It installed without a hitch. I *think* what happened was that the installer saw some residual F25 partitions (I must not have deleted the F25 /boot/efi partition), and was trying to install as a triple-boot F25/F26/Win10 rather than dual boot F26/Win10. It was respecting the stuff that was already in the EFI/fedora directory in the /dev/sda1 system EFI partition. But, of course, the F25 partitions were *mostly* gone, so it crumped on boot when it tried to defaut to a F25 boot up. When I used gparted to delete everything linux-y and deleted the fedora directory in the /dev/sda1 EFI directory, it installed without complaint.

I think my big error was not making sure that *everything* F25-related was gone.
