This particular one was supposed to come with linux.

Ah, okay. Most people have something with Windows on it that's why I said that. I only use Linux myself. Just use "dirve options (advanced)" then where you see that screenshot and delete the partitions and then create a new one to install windows.
You can also "show details" at that screen where it tells you that you cannot install windows there and that will say why.
You sorta need to know what you are doing though. Form reading this:

After hitting "drive options (andvanced)
you will get other options.
Choose "delete" and delete all the partitions if you want to do that. (warning: this will wipe the data)
Then choose new to create a new partition for the new install. Then format the new partition.
It should be good to go on the windows install now. OR stop after deleting and install DOS.
