windows 7 downgrade right from 8.1 replacement disk
I recently purchased a Inspiron 15 5558 preloaded with windows 7 through downgrade rights from 8.1. The laptop was shipped with a windows 8.1 recovery disk. I routinely (8-12 months) reinstall the OS on my computers.
Since I got a windows 8.1 reinstall disk, do I need to contact Dell for a Windows 7 recovery disk?
Want to avoid having to purchase Windows 7 OEM disk for additional $$.
Thanks.

You will need the 7 recovery media -- if the system is under warranty, see

(assuming US/UK/Canada).
