As per my original post, my system is already registered. Win 8 is installed and I want to do a reinstall, possibly install an SSD and need the OS.
According to Dell tech I can request the recovery media via the webpage www.dell.com/recoverymedia and I attempted to do this but it doesn't seem to have worked. Each time I have attempted it I get the message that I need to register the system.
When you complete registration/ownership transfer, it is NOT immediate. It usually takes a few business days. If it has been longer than 3 or 4 business days, then I'd recommend you CALL them.

How long did you wait? System ownership/registration can take several business days.
Which OS? Are you getting the media for a reason (reinstall, etc.) or just to have?
