- Why are you paying for windows if you don't want it?

- Why are you purchasing from a vendor that you think is going to install a backdoor in your PC's hardware?

- I recommend getting a larger SSD if you want to store the whole blockchain on it. If you intend to enable pruning then you don't need a large SSD but if you don't then I suggest getting a 1TB one. You will want to store the whole blockchain if you intend to add/remove wallets regularly. Syncing the blockchain on a hard drive will take longer so you need the SSD for that.
