You have already received much good advice. I would add that dell
support is often happier if you are running windows. So I always set up
a dual boot configuration with only a small windows partition. I
*always* get media from dell to reinstall windows if needed.
In the old days the dell media took the entire disk for windows, but
this is much better now and partitions (and hence dual booting) are
supported.
Good luck.
