My brother bought a Dell Inspiron 3655. It come loaded with Windows 10. But what if you want to load Linux? The BIOS is impossibly unintuitive and utterly Windows Centric. OK. Uhmmmm. No manual in the box. So let's go online and get the manual to figure out the BIOS and details. But no! No such manual! Damnedest thing I have seen in awhile. For the nonce he will run Windows 10. But the utter lack of any manual telling one what you have and how it is set up makes for a very bad user experience.
EFI? UEFI? Secure Boot? How do you load from a DVD or USB device? No manual! No clues for you sucker!
At any rate, I suggest avoiding Dell like the plague unless you have hours and hours to search help forums and have a high tolerance for frustration and computer manufacturer stupidity. And I thought HP was bad.
You have been warned!
