I doubt at this price point it would have a second drive bay. If you don’t need the DVD drive, that can be converted to a 2nd HD bay using a caddy like this:
This would be perfectly fine for learning to code. The best thing to look for is screen resolution so you can have multiple windows open. Second one to look for is memory 8G is good. CPU speed with modern processors is not really an issue. It might take you 1-2 seconds longer to compile the code - and that would have to be pretty big code base. And none of those languages are compiled.
(I cut my teeth coding on punch cards in college.)
I think this is a better choice for $20 more. It comes with windows 8.1, but you can update to w10 for free. It’s not touch, but really touch is not used by most people on a laptop (especially a programmer) The I3 processor i3-5010U is about 50% more powerful and has better graphics processing that what you’ll get on the N3700.
Regular Minecraft should play ok on this. Sometimes when you download texture packs (according to my son) and other higher level playing things you might get some lag with this processor. If you could do without the touchscreen, and don’t mind paying $20 more then I think this is the better choice:

Minecraft will work fine with most current integrated graphics.
Integrated graphics are not like those from years ago- they are a lot better now. Don’t expect to do high-end gaming with integrated graphics, but low level and some mid-level gaming can be done on certain current processors with no problems at all. Minecraft is not that demanding graphics wise, I have installed it on a chromebook (installed via crouton in Ubuntu) and that processor only had a passmark of 1200- it was still playable. The laptop I recommended with the I3 is definitely the better option though, vs the one with the touchscreen and the N3700
Have you checked to see if there’s a way to turn it on/off?
