Need a restore disc
I just got a Dell laptop from a friend, It was sold to me "as-is" and only came with the power cord. I need to reset it back to factory settings because the OS is corrupt but I don't have a restore disc or a way to make one from the laptop. I fear my only option would be to go out and buy Windows 8 but I'm hoping that someone else has a less expensive (free) option for me.

If the system is out of warranty, there will be a charge to ship the restore media. Have your friend transfer ownership to you with Dell:

Then call to purchase the restore media -- it will be about $40 in the US.
