DOS? Do you mean Windows? Use the installation media for whatever you want to install and use it's setup utility. In Linux it's fdisk usually but you aren't using that. The partition with 10GB free might possibly be the old linux boot drive or it could also be something like the laptop factory restore partition.
Most new laptops will have the ability to boot from a USB. An older one might not. Look around in the bios more and make sure you look at all the options. Be careful with what you save. If in doubt don't save and do it over.
Look for a forum for whichever OS you are going to install. They will help you and you'll probably need more help later.
