You'll need to consult with the local tax authorities on the second question.
For the first, the answer depends partly on your use of the system. If it's a system for playing and tinkering, and you're comfortable not needing support at this point (Dell won't support a beta OS, which is what Windows 11 is from now until it's officially released), sure.
If you need the system to get work done, 11 is chancy at this point. There's no guarantee all the hardware (and Alienware systems need more driver support than average) will have driver and software updates. At minimum, consider:
1. Making a full, tested image backup of the factory install (if support is required, that will save you time, as Dell can insist Windows 10 be reloaded before any warranty support is rendered), and
2. Seriously consider waiting until Windows 11 is officially released before making a commitment to it. If you jump at 11 now, it could cost you hours and hours of work that no one officially supports -- not even Microsoft.
Hi @vespetr welcome to this user to user discussion forum. This is not Dell Support.
You are making a purchase from Dell Norway online shop here, and Norway has its own EU VAT rates. You may be Norwegian, converse in English, but did not share your current location, so your VAT question is not clear. Why not order Norwegian keyboard laptop from your local Dell? Then VAT, Custom Duties, Dell warranty, etc., will be sorted for you.
Anyone can install Windows 11, but do not expect it to work or for Dell warranty to assist with any problems, unless Dell supplied the m15 R6 preinstalled at factory with the Windows 11 x64 operating system. Windows 11 ready systems are just that, check your Dell order and invoice very carefully for what was purchased and what is covered in the as delivered configuration.

Clearly. I understand. I asked the wrong question.
Does this laptop meet the requirements to install win 11? When it's officially available?
(I ask because I don't want to wait until next year to buy a laptop with win 11)

Yes, and it is on Dell's supported list for Windows 11.
