Me gustaria algo de apoyo sobre la Garantia de mi laptop nueva // I would like some support on the warranty on my new laptop.
Saludos Dell Community!
Acabo de comprar un laptop nuevo "Dell 16 Plus" con Windows 11 Home. Pero me gustaría saber si puedo tener un Dual-Boot con el Windows 11 home original y cualquier Linux de mi preferencia sin afectar la garantía de mi producto nuevo?
No hare ningún cambio sin estar seguro de poder mantener mi garantía.
Agradezco cualquier ayuda verificada de Dell Company.

Greetings Dell Community!
I just bought a new "Dell 16 Plus" laptop with Windows 11 Home. But I would like to know if I can have a Dual-Boot with the original ''Windows 11 Home" plus any Linux of my choice without affecting the warranty of my new product?
I won't make any changes without being sure I can maintain my guarantee!
I appreciate any verified help from Dell Company.

The hardware warranty will be unaffected, but there will be no Dell support for any dual-boot -- or any version of Linux on this hardware at all. There is no Dell support for linux on this model.
Be sure you investigate whatever distribution you want to install as far as that community's support for the system.
If you're looking for better odds of Linux support, choose a Latitude model -- many of these do have support for Ubuntu Linux.

Thank you very much for your support. 💡 @ejn63
I appreciate it. I hope someone else can leave their comment and experiences here with this model “Dell 16 Plus”.
Would you have any chance over time that Linux Debian distributions will release updates with better support for this Dell 16 Plus model?

It's possible but if you're looking for hardware support, Ubuntu will have it first -- it has a much larger user community with a much broader base of hardware support.
