Creating Restore Disc Windows 7 Pro (With an Optiplex 790)

Hi Gang

I just picked up a new 790 Mini Tower loaded with Windows 7 Professional. I'd like to create a restore disc since Dell no longer provides back up OS. It's my unstanding this restore disc will provide the OS only, not the drivers. For those I'd have to go to the Dell Support site.

Can someone help guide me as to how to create a restore OS disc?

OR

Perhaps I'll buy a Microsoft Genuine RETAIL version Windows 7, and strip the new Hard Drive, eliminating all the garbage  - start from scratch, and download the chipset, and other drivers from the  Dell Support site.

Thanx

Mike
