You could try looking for a supplier that sells Linux builds but outside of that you'll probably be buying something with an OEM OS.

You can get a refund off some sellers like Dell, once you know how. I think you have to decline the Microsoft EULA, and then send the disks back. They don't advertise it widely but ive definitely heard of people being able to do it.
