How to install Arch over Ubuntu alongside Windows 10?
Currently I have dual boot computer with Ubuntu 18.10 and Windows 10: both systems installed in UEFI/GPT mode on SSD , but /efi and therefore GRUB are located on HDD.
I've reinstalled Ubuntu distros before, but all this stuff were done with GUI. Arch just gives you a plain terminal, and while I have an overall understanding of what I need to do, I'm a little bit overwhelmed by official wiki guide. In my opinion, it tells you too much, so the concrete instructions are blurred over numerous pages and I'm having hard times reading it through.
As I see it, I have to get done this:
1) format existing Ubuntu partitions
2) create 3 new partitions for /, /home and possibly swap
3) mount them as root, home and swap respectively
4) set grub to be installed at existing Windows bootloader, i. e. at HDD
5) continue install following wiki guide
So could you point me at more theme-specific guides or just write commands, I can read docs/man by myself. Thanks in advance

The reason the Arch documentation is verbose, is because Arch Linux is for advanced Linux users, no offense. It's common for advanced users to go with advanced system configurations. That's why you'll find that the Arch Wiki is one of the most informative Linux resources on the Internet. Have your considered installing the Arch-based Manjaro instead?
