Windows recovery if dual boot procedure does not work
I am considering purchasing a new Dell laptop that will be primarily used for linux development. However, the flexibility of a dual-boot system is appealing. If I were to choose a laptop that is sold by Dell with Ubuntu as an OS option, and instead purchase it with Windows, is there any kind of recovery procedure that can be used to restore Windows in the event the dual boot procedure does not go as expected?
