Tiger Lake-U CPUs officially support 64GB RAM and the i5-1135G7 supports DDR4-3200 speed RAM so there is a good chance this laptop will take 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM (but I doubt anyone would want >32GB on this budget laptop). Manufacturers tend not to confirm RAM sizes that they do not sell as a configuration/option (need thorough certification with various brands, etc). At least it has two SO-DIMM slots, whereas many other brands (Acer, Asus, Lenovo) love to solder one channel on the mainboard.
As others have found out, the empty 2.5" bay has caddy and cables included to mount a 7mm HDD or SSD.
USB-C is a strange omission, and Dell explicitly states the HDMI port outputs 1080p60 max, no 2K/4K.
I installed an SSD in the open drive bay, added a 16 GB ram chip, and installed Ubuntu server on the newly installed SSD so I can dual boot into Windows or Linux. Installing and running Ubuntu server has been flawless.
The Dell site specs say 16 GB max memory. I installed a Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM into the open slot and in both Windows and Ubuntu I can access all 24 GB. I would assume you could install two 16 GB for a total of 32 GB if you wanted.

How much did you spend on the upgrades?
It comes with the 80 Execution Units of Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics.
This Iris Xe iGPU is way better than UHD iGPU. It is about as good as the AMD's VEGA 6/7/8 iGPU.
"Processor Graphics ‡
Processor Graphics indicates graphics processing circuitry integrated into the processor, providing the graphics, compute, media, and display capabilities. Processor graphics brands include Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, Intel® UHD Graphics, Intel® HD Graphics, Iris® Graphics, Iris® Plus Graphics, and Iris® Pro Graphics. See the Intel® Graphics Technology for more information.
Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand."
https://ark.intel.com/content/www...0-ghz.html
And, more interestingly:
"Note 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (codenamed Tiger Lake) in single-channel memory configurations will default to less than 80 EUs, in alignment with Intel® UHD Graphics branding. In this configuration, it will always show Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics in the Operating System. To properly enable Iris® Xe Graphics the system must be in dual-channel memory configuration. Consult with your computer manufacturer for more information."

While I agree it's the same architecture in both configs, I'm guessing the branding difference is due to a likely staggering gap in performance...they don't want a gimped Xe iGPU dragging the Xe trademark down, so they want you to call it a UHD. They're actually disabling some of the EU's (they don't say how many....) to match the available memory bandwidth.
I'm guessing the OEMs that put them in this config may also pay a discounted price on the CPU (since it has to be branded a lower grade system).

You can get out of windows S mode very easily without having to re-install everything. It's just a few console commands and then you're good to go.

I can get another $20 off I am thinking about buying 5.
Search in windows store to switch to Home. No need to wipe.
You need to get an app from the Microsoft store and it will switch it out of S mode.
