Factory Image for Clean install?

I just purchased an Alienware17 R4 from a friend and I did a clean install of Windows 10. Is there any location that I can get a factory image with all the software and what not so I can create a recovery partition that mirrors the factory settings?

    Hi TrevorF.‌,

    There is no location for you to get a factory image, but you can create one with Dell backup and recovery, here is an article with all the details: Dell Backup and Recovery (DBaR) and Windows 10 | Dell US

    If I don't have a factory image to copy because of a 100% clean install of windows 10, will it still pull all the original software from dell by downloading it from somewhere?
