Just installed Ubuntu on Hp entertainment laptop from live cd

Does this show that windows is gone? is it in the extended
I t is my son's computer... I love linux and no tears over MS but would like to use this to learn what we did wrong
I also looked for a menu.lst but it says no such file
Also installed grub customizer and got it, to at least show the grub menu but no windows listed there either
Any ideas? I am new but willing to learn.
