Think you need more info..
I would suggest booting from a fedora livecd or usb and run.
sfdisk -l /dev/sda   and see what it reports about partitions.
My notebook here was originally on a regular disk, but upgraded it to an sdd drive of the same size just using clone option of my G4L project. Then used gparted to reduce size of C: partition.
Sometimes windows machines have other partitions, that contain restore partitions or partitions with programs they add..
sfdisk /dev/sda -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order.
Recently had a user that had a windows disk with 4 primary partition, but the only was tiny 100M and had a couple of programs dated back to 2015.. Seemed some kind of update utilities. Copied files to C: partition, and then removed that partition. Was then able to install Fedora after resizing the C: partiton.
