How do I have to install this Windows 10?
Hello everyone,
Our first office DeLL Data PC (Inspiron 24 Model 3455), lost suddenly its Hard Drive (message: Hard Drive is corrupt and unreadable). Fortunately, our Data is safe with Carbonite. I replaced the lost hard drive for a new one HD, and purchased "the original WIN PRO 10 64BIT ENGLISH 1PK DSP OEI DVD VERSION 1803".
My question is the following: Is this windows 10 software a complete installation CD, or do I have to do something else before proceeding to do it?. I will appreciate any advice regarding to my question please, thanks a lot

Yes you can do a full install with that CD. All you have to do is start the system and at the Dell splash screen start tapping F12. Select the DVD drive to boot from and Windows will take care of the rest.

The OEM dvd is complete windows 10 but has no drivers.
You will need to manually download drivers or use the resource dvd.

You might as well ditch the DVD and Download the more up to date Windows 10 Version 1809 from Microsoft and Create a Bootable USB. See here for instructions:

For Driver Installation use Dell Update (ensure it is ran as an administrator):
