following up...ended up not getting the developer edition (several reasons) but the Windows 10 version instead. Made a restore image of the new drive for warranty purposes and have successfully installed Linux Lite 4.0 (with Trinidad's help!...and TheDead...who had already told me to check for Legacy boot options and I forgot by the time I waited the 30 day return window).
Also, I said I would post findings from Dell about warranty if installing other OS and was told verbally I could install whatever OS I wanted, but when I asked for written documentation on that, they said "sure" but never sent it. I waited, but gave up and decided to get a refurb Windows version and just install Linux Lite.
Everything working like a dream. Including being able to connect new iPhone 7+ with lightning to usb3 cable and successfully transferring files and photos (which I had read would not be possible going iPhone to Linux). Super happy right now!!
Thanks Linux Lite team!!
