I believe this is the machine that a prominent Youtube hardware reviewer said this was the worse pre-built he's ever seen.

The license is tied to the hardware. Microsoft takes a digital fingerprint that is used for activation. Formatting your computer and using the windows media creation tool will automatically activate windows, legally. It's fully supported by Microsoft. There's nothing you need to do. It's all automatic using the digital license.

Quote from ElatedIdea8790 :
Thanks! One more question if you don't mind. Do you think it's worth buying and sitting on until the holidays? Or will there be better deals? With the gpu shortages not likely to resolve soon I'm a bit unsure if I should just wait or grab this deal and sit on it.

I have never seen a configuration for an i5-10400F, GTX 1660 Ti (or GTX 1660 Super), 16GB RAM, and 512 SSD lower than $700. Where did you see a similar configuration for $630 to $650?
https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/646357

I bought 3 and already flipped them. In my previous comment I did mention the ram difference but that's not worth the $120 price difference, plus the XPS has the non-F cpu.

8940 is better because it has onboard graphics, just in case you decide to resell the GPU later on.

Eh this isn't the best price for this performance. This can be had for around $620-650. A better deal will probably come later. Only bonus to this is it has 16gb ram, and an 8gb stick can be had pretty cheap

That totals $630 + $43 = $673 after factoring the price of adding an 8 GB stick of RAM so do not post lies saying a configuration with i5-10400F, GTX 1660 Ti (or GTX 1660 Super), 16GB RAM, and 512 SSD "can be had for around $620-650."

This is $730 + tax though? The one I linked is 630 + tax? It's still $100 cheaper. And lies? May be a bit of strong wording? Anyways, I hope this helps, he was asking if there would be a better deal and I confirmed there has been in the recent past

Which HSF would you recommend? By "reset" windows do you mean to buy a windows license and reinstall windows?

You can do a reset from within the settings app in windows. It reinstalls windows without all the junk, no license purchase needed. I don't know which cooler for this model. I bought the xps last week and someone lined a $30 cooler from Amazon.

No, it does not. It returns windows to factory settings, which in Dell's case is full of crap. Watch the video, please, before advising

I bought this a little over a year ago. Similar specs but with an i7. I have no issues with it however, I primarily use this as a Plex / Torrent box. In my particular situation its been great.

*oops, didnt mean to reply to you directly

Then download the windows media creation tool from Microsoft and make a USB. Almost as easy. Point is bloatware issue is easy to fix.

The fans will be loud and you can't change any major parts if it breaks (RAM, CPU, and GPU being the only standard components). If you are not a techy person and just want a PC to do some light gaming, I would say "It's fine.". But if you want to do some streaming or use Abode softwares, look elsewhere.
