Alienware x51 Windows Installation
Hi,
I have received my Alienware X51 and I want to install Windows 8 onto a separate SSD drive. I understand that a user created recovery disc/Alienware Respawn will not work with an SSD and I would need the OEM disc to install Windows 8 on the SSD.
Will Dell provide one if requested?

Thanks Incompressible.
After my sending my initial post I located the below thread:

I contacted Alienware Technical Support explaining the issue and they are sending me a Windows Installation DVD in the post free of charge.

Probably not - you might have to download the ISO image from Digital River (Microsoft's official Windows ISO host) and enter your OEM key during installation.
