Which recovery image should I download?
I am trying to download a recovery image for my Inspiron 15 7580, but there are four different options, with no differentiation whatsoever:
Any hint on which one I should choose? It doesn't seem reasonable to download 20GB just to discard 15GB right afterwards

We understand your call out. We have raised this with the online image team to get this resolved.

You can download the file with the highest capacity. 5.57 GB in this case.

Thanks. So I can just assume the differences between them are irrelevant? That works, surely, but it wouldn't hurt to show more info about the images on the download page -- after all, what is the point of hosting four different 5 GB images if we are supposed to randomly pick one?

Welcome to the Dell Community @Rogue Two
Its been awhile but I remember only 2 options???
I would like to see the 4 options???
But until the eClerx team approves the images only you can see them.
Just seems odd that a Moderator cannot approve images???
Best regards,
U2

Thanks for reaching out @U2CAMEB4ME . The screenshot shows there are four nearly identical options, with similar names (three are named "Windows 10 Professional. 64-Bit", and the other one is "Windows 10 Pro. 64-Bit") and no way of telling them apart aside from their sizes. This is obviously confusing and doesn't help at all...
