Recovery USB questions
I just picked up a Dell 7559 the other day. Its my first laptop in like 10 years, always had self built desktops. I just wanted to know about what is actually saved on the recovery usb with the dell app. When I click save system files, does it save all my programs and games that I have already installed before making this usb? For the most part, I would care if it didnt save games and some programs.
Also, I am able to transfer the files to a backup folder somewhere so I can continue using my 32gb usb? I just used it to test but I still need to use it. I plan to pick up 16gb specifically for it.
Side question - does dell have an app to tell me which drivers needs updating? I did the 40min diagnostics test thinking that would tell me but it didnt. Have to go one by one and compare versions.
Thanks
