You first want and need to re-install your laptop, people invest time and effort in that, next you f**k up the factory install recovery capabality, and now you want it back and people are again investing time and effort into that. You now have a perfectly running clean OS, if you want most, if not all, the OEM crap that is installed from factory back, dell provides all the downloads (if not discontinued).
Sorry that i made waste your time. Unfortunately factory image was running much better than clean win 7, even after adding the dell drivers. Dont ask me why. Anyway downloading iso from dell website, 7gb, i hope it has everything that the 13gb recovery partition has
zar91: The reason for requesting the 7-character "service tag" number on your Dell is so it can be correctly identified and its assigned support site can be located. It does not divulge any personal sensitive information that you need to be concerned about in an open forum.
Its a long explanation, wifi performance, general browser speed is where i noticed the biggest hit, and i did try dell’s drivers. And to be honest factory image was not that bloated with s**twere, its win 7 pro after all
Try drivers from SDI. Did you wait a bit after starting Windows? After installing updated Windows you have to wait a bit so .NET builds the cache.
What does that have to do with all the preinstalled by the OEM (trial) software? The original factory oem recovery install will be many, many, many years old, containing ancient crap, like old drivers and software.
Its actually from feb 2017. This dell was custom pre installed with win7 pro by dell as of corporate request. Not custom for 1 corporate of course. But still quite rare to have an oem win 7 from 2017 And of course I’ll be keeping the win 7 AiO simplixed that I created. Maybe after some more testing of the Oem ill go back to the clean one. Granted that 7gb iso im downloading will get me the factory image
