thank you
so I have to :
- create (using gparted) only one big partition (1 TBit) on the HDD
- indicate to the process that install fedora the HDD (the partition)
where to install the S.O.
- all the rest is done automatically by the installer
that is correct ???

If you are starting from scratch, you don't need to preserve anything.
A clean install will create a new EFI partition if there isn't one
already. You only need to keep the old one if there is another OS on
the computer that is also using it.
