Use of System Recovery disc
Hi,
I need to replace the internal Hard Drive on my Dell Inspiron 15R (N5010) laptop - To get a working Windows 7 system on the new hard drive, do I just need to use the System Recovery disc that I made when I first got the laptop and nothing else? (I do not have an OS disc).
Thanks, Dave

For optimum performance I recommend Clean Installation of Windows 7. You may use a downloadable Digital River .iso for this purpose. See Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows 7 for detailed instructions:
