Using the Operating System Media

Before you Begin

If you are considering reinstalling the Windows
operating system to correct a problem with a newly
installed driver, first try using Windows Device
Driver Rollback. See "Returning to a Previous
Device Driver Version" on page 39. If Device Driver
Rollback does not resolve the problem, use
Microsoft Windows System Restore to return your
operating system to the operating state it was in

before you installed the new device driver. See
"Using Microsoft

®

Windows

®

System Restore" on

page 42.

NOTICE: Before performing the installation,

back up all data files on your primary
solid-state drive. For conventional solid-state
drive configurations, the primary solid-state
drive is the first drive detected by the
computer.

To reinstall Windows, you need the Dell™ Operating
System
media and the Dell Drivers and Utilities
media.

NOTE: The Dell Drivers and Utilities media

contains drivers that were installed during
the assembly of the computer. Use the Dell

Drivers and Utilities media to load any
required drivers. Depending on the region
from which you ordered your computer, or
whether you requested the media, the Dell
Drivers and Utilities media and Dell
Operating System media may not ship with
your computer.
