MBR or EFI is due to manufacturing.
On EFI, you can choose to "legacy" boot with BIOS. But you cannot choose to use EFI instead of MBR if MBR is how the motherboard was built and equipped.
The screenshot of your partitions shows EFI. Several of your partitions are Not Bootable partitions- they merely store data that is accessed by an active bootable partition. For example: the top ntfs "System Reserved' is used by Microsoft to back up data. It is not bootable, but is accessible to the separate partition used by MS.
Computer manufacturers will also employ that trick- so that when you use the Manufacturers Restore Feature, it as accessing that separate partition, though that partition is not bootable on its own.
In your screenshot, I see Four Bootable Partitions, currently.
Drive does not look ruined - You MAY wish to reformat your Linux Partitions, though.
Is your Win 10 bootable at all?
I would just delete those three partitions then. Then make one new partition from the available space that creates. Use that partition to repair W Boot.
Once complete, you can then use your partition manager to allocate partitions you want for Zorin OS and reinstall.
