Not sure what question is?

/home by default is inside / (root) which is the system partition. You cannot use Windows or any NTFS for /home.

If you want /home on a separate partition you can do that during install with Something Else or move it afterwards.
This has details.
To move /home uses rsync- Be sure to use parameters to preserve ownership & permissions

Just do the reverse of the process to create a separate /home partition in link above.

You need to copy all your data into the /home/$USER folder inside you / (root) and edit fstab to remove the /home partition.
