First, I'm not a Windows user so my knowledge about modifying the OS is very limited. You did message me asking for help, so I'll do what I can. Normally, I keep out of Windows and Apple threads.
Often what happens when a computer is being supplied by the work/school is the IT department will be the admin. It's unlikely you will have enough access dual-boot or debloat the machine.
Use your phone. I once used an Android for two years as my only computer. This could serve for activity you don't want the Uni to know about, at least for a month or two until you are settled at Uni. No need to rush into anything.
Two computers. Hands down the best way to keep work/play separate. Use the Windows for Uni and a separate machine for personal activity. This could get expensive.
TailsOS can work for you in your off hours. It's Linux OS that installs on a flash drive and sends all your traffic through Tor. When you unmount the flash drive it leaves no traces on your computer. It's very easy to set-up and comes pre-loaded with tons of software.

Where could I get this iot enterprise from, for a.legitimate install? And safe. The Laptop comes with specialised software, so it is best keeping it as it is. No?
