Dell disks
Hello. I have a Dell All in one XPS 2710. I need to bring back the computer back to the original state. I made copies of the Dell recovery disk from the instructions given on the computer. Unfortunately, I cannot find them and I have looked all over the house. Is there a way to get a copy of the recovery disk so I can bring the computer back to its original state? Thanks.

ok saw this post, but need clarification.
I want to format my hard drive and reinstall my windows 8. So i download the program on the link then i click the language, the OS (for me i simply did "Windows 8.1") turn it in to an ISO burn that to a dvd. Then from there its the normal format and reinstall procedure? that seems all to easy and convenient.

You need to Download the .iso and make a Bootable USB for a UEFI BIOS - A DVD may not work as the optical drive may be rejected by Secure Boot.
