I might check into getting one of those if the Windows 10 can be scrubbed and Windows 7 or Linux installed. It would certainly be well worth the money if you can get rid of Win10 - otherwise it would just be an expensive doorstop for me rather than an inexpensive computer.

Sure, if you have a generic or stand alone windows 7 install disc it is possible. Just run the format and then run your install, just think about it, with a 2 terabyte HD you could install Linux on the other terabyte.
I have about 23 different versions of Windows 7 on a USB dongle installer, so no problem there. My concern is whether Dell has started activating the UEFC "secure boot" which prevents one from installing a new OS. I couldn't find that system on their site, so I couldn't look it up to see if it has UEFC activated or whether it ships with Legacy active... but then again, if I couldn't find it, I couldn't buy it anyhow.

I never buy from Bell.
I found that computer here EBay free shipping
They are refurbished Dell computers.
This one comes with Windows 7: Windows 7
Now this is the best Win 7 I've seen for the price. Great Win 7
