That is the typical way to set it up. The shop has probably learned
the hard way that setting Windows up more securely causes lots of
customer complaints. So they set it up the way that is simplest for an
unsophisticated user to use. Not secure, but easy to use. You can
"easily" add another user and make that user the default login. For
best security don't make that user an administrator.

do I delete this partition and have just the large c: drive NTFS?
Disk management will let you "easily" change the size of a partition.
I don't know how safe it is to do it, after all it is a M$ product.
