In newer Dell BIOS you'd have to enable Advanced BIOS settings (to the upper left in the BIOS setting screen) in order to get full BIOS control.

Then you can disable Secure Boot and set the hard drive to be AHCI instead of RAID just to make sure that you have best compatibility.

Because that $2,000 is consideration for the other party providing something. If the penalty clause is the entire remainder of the contract fee, then the other party should also be compelled to provide service for the remainder of the contract term, or some equivalent consideration. Otherwise, it isn't really much of a contract.

I agree. And they will! You're free to use the service until the expiration of the contract. Whether you actually use it or not is up to you.

That's not what a cancellation fee does, though. By definition, when you pay a cancellation fee, they are no longer providing service.
