This is a great point to think clearly about the contents of the
message.

The prospective user needs to understand clearly that the "erase and
install" option leaves no chance of returning to the previous state
unless there is a separate backup.

I can easily believe that the inexperienced or untutored prospective
user would read "Erase disk and install Lubuntu" and not realize there
is some hidden copy of Windows somewhere that can be magically
reinstalled.  At the same time there cannot be pages and pages of
instructions.

So I suggest:

"Delete Windows and all your data from the computer forever and install
Lubuntu in its place"

In something contrasty and obvious as Nio suggests.

If there is room for a bit more explanation / fine print below then
something like:

"if you have a backup of Windows or install media, you can re-install
it"

and:

"Once Lubuntu is installed, you can retrieve your data from your most
recent backup".
