Factory Resetting M14 Laptop
I am doing a factory reset for a M14x laptop, but the thing is, there is only an OS CD (Windows 7) and not a software CD for Alienware. Not even sure it came with one or if it was already installed.
Anyways, I am wanting to factory reset this laptop numerous reasons, but I am worried if I reset it all of the drivers and Alienware programs on here will not work afterwards. I read one or two horror stories about people factory resetting theirs and ending up with just an Alienware logo and Windows 7 with no extra Alienware software like the command center etc.
I would appreciate any help or advice, or just the knowledge that things will still be okay after resetting it.

If you perform an Alienrespawn the system will go back to factory settings (with all programs and drivers), if you perform a clean installation of windows with the CD you have then you will need to install of the drivers but you can find then in the support website. If you need a guide on how to perform a clean installation of windows check out this article.
