I need Dell Resource CD/DVD
Hella,
I want to reinstall windows 7 home premium on my desktop. But I don't have any recovery data left and no windows dvd. On the Dell website I cannot find how to order or to download this files. Who can help me?
I do have a Dell desktop, with servicetag, but with the tag no files can be found.
Thanks in advance.

Dell no longer ships the Resource CD/DVD. Also, the data on a Resource DVD will be years old. You should get all drivers from the specific models driver website.

Hi,
Please try the ftp://ftp.dell.com/ link for drivers.
Unfortunately the cd's shipping have been stopped a while ago.

Oh dear, do I have to open each folder to see if my desired link is in there? Serious, is there no other option?

There are zero options when you do not say what model and what OS you are talking about.
There is no such thing as one size fits all for all models for all os.

If your warranty has run out you may have difficulties or incur costs procuring installation media. At the end of next month Windows 10 RTM is out and your Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license is eligible for a free upgrade. My advise is to install the Windows 10 Insider Build 10130 now and use it as a stepping stone to get Windows 10 RTM (Microsoft's representative Gabriel Aul has stated there will be no cutoff for Windows 10 Insiders from reaching Windows 10 RTM):

Note the Windows Insider 10 Insider Build 10130 is prerelease software but it is relatively stable.
