Hi George,
What do you mean by <fedora installing the default (btrfs) "destroys"?

I have already installed fedora on a normal <desktop> by completely
replacing the HDD ..
In that case the HDD was initially presented with a single partition and
fedora automatically created the partitions that were needed to store
the operating system.

In this current case (the computer is a laptop) I see that the HDD
contains a partition (EFI System Partition) which perhaps should not be
touched because it is used by the <BIOS> ...

this is the reason that I would like to know how to present (in terms of
partitions) the HDD for fedora installation :
<basically I ask if I have to leave some of the existing partition>
If you are starting from scratch, you don't need to preserve anything.
A clean install will create a new EFI partition if there isn't one
already. You only need to keep the old one if there is another OS on
the computer that is also using it.
