Preparing
Hi,
Recently when preparing to download a copy of the system recovery image (W10) from Dell for my Latitude 7490 I read the following:-
What you need:
Service Tag of the Dell computer on which you want to install the operating system.
Download and install the Dell OS Recovery Tool (runs in Microsoft Windows only).
Blank USB flash drive with at least 16 GB of free space.
Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.2 or higher.
Administrator user rights and at least 16 GB of available hard drive .
For network stability, a wired network connection is preferred as well as disabling any anti-virus software during the download.
I would have expected that if .Net framework was required they would have included it in the recovery image. If I was to download this separately would I just put it on the usb flash drive? Surely they don't mean it should be on the existing system drive? I was changing to a new M.2 NVMe drive that was blank and in any event I was booting to the USB flash drive so the contents of the system drive was irrelevant...
I appreciate that this question could probably be better asked in a Dell forum but I've not found them to be particularly helpful, certainly not the one I posted on...
SO, just in case there's someone on here who's re-installed Dell recovery image...
Incidentally I tried a recovery and it appeared to work ok but I'm still intrigued...
