Can you run Ubuntu on the Dell? Yes.

There is no legitimate free version of Windows 7. If you have a valid product key, you can download from MS. You can also get an OEM version from Dell (you may have to pay a small fee).

Do Dell have Windows 7 drivers available for your laptop?

You can install for free only the same Windows version, your laptop was sold with.
The easies way to find it out is to find first you laptop Service Tag number
First

Second

Once you open your Service Tag, go to Original Configuration and look though the list to see which windows it was shipped with. This is the one you can install without serial key (it is embedded into laptop internals).
