Does your netbook have the facility to boot from a SD card - some don't, others do.
Install Norton Ghost or another similar software on a usb drive from another computer, reboot the tablet go to BIOS (or EFI) and boot straight from the USB to run ghost, and if ghost recognizes the SD card, then you will be able to image the OS.
The Venue tablets can't boot from SD that's for sure, I have the venue 8 pro (5000 model) and its just a few days that I received the win10 upgrade. The update from 8.1 (core edition) to 10 (home edition) was smooth. Anyway the ONLY way to boot from USB is to acquire the official 'Dell Micro USB Dongle for Data and Charging' anything else OTG wont work ...
My take on that message is, once you upgrade to Windows 10, the factory recovery feature that would restore your PC to the Out Of The Box condition will not work anymore. Most OEM PC's ship with a factory recovery feature. On boot up you press a certain key and get recovery options to put it back to the factory condition. The upgrade will break that feature. There should also be a utility to make recovery media. Do that, and you should then be able to restore the factory condition with that media. I don't think it has anything to do with the roll back feature. Roll back may not work, but I don't think that's what the message is trying to tell you. I think its telling you not to rely on the factory recovery feature to bail you out if things go wrong.
if you have the powered USB adapter go into control panel - recovery - create a recovery drive..
this will write the factory recovery to a bootable USB drive.. And you WILL want to SAVE IT.
There are but two Dell Driver exe files that load all the system drivers - and it is a Touch Tablet,
so it requires those drivers in winre , boot and installation
