Create System Recovery Media; (Recommended) - Dell XPS D03M Setup Manual

Setting Up Your XPS Desktop
Create System Recovery
Media (Recommended)
NOTE: It is recommended that you create
a system recovery media as soon as you
set up Microsoft Windows.
The system recovery media can be used to
restore your computer to the operating state
it was in when you purchased the computer,
while preserving data files (without the need
of the Operating System disc). You can use
the system recovery media if changes to
the hardware, software, drivers, or other
system settings have left the computer in an
undesirable operating state.
You will require the following to create the
system recovery media:
• Dell DataSafe Local Backup
• USB key with a minimum capacity of 8 GB
or DVD‑R/DVD+R/Blu‑ray Disc
NOTE: Dell DataSafe Local Backup does
not support rewritable discs.
