Setting Up Your Laptop Create System Recovery Media (Recommended) NOTE: It is recommended that you create system recovery media as soon as you set up Microsoft Windows. NOTE: Your computer does not have an internal optical drive. Use an optional external optical drive or any external storage device for procedures that involve discs. 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. To create system recovery media: 1. Ensure that the AC adapter is connected (see "Connect the AC Adapter" on page 6). 2. Insert the disc or USB key in the computer. 3. Click Start → All Programs→ Dell DataSafe Local Backup. 4. Click Create Recovery Media. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE: For information on restoring your operating system using the system recovery media, see "System Recovery Media" on page 61. 9
