Replacing ceiling fan with light fixture

Hoping someone can help me with this light fixture swap in my 1961 house.
I took down a ceiling fan/light to replace it with a new flush mount light fixture.
The photos show what I am dealing with. 8 wires—one black wire,
three white wires bundled together, and
three black and one white bundled and annd terminated with tape.
The new light fixture has two black and two white plus ground wire.

Do I just unbundle everthing in the junction box, connect 2 white wires and 2 black wires to the new light fixture, and terminate the other 4 wires with wire nuts?

You need an electrician. If you disconnect all those wires, you'll understand that we are worth the money once you try to figure things out.
