My original OS which came with my unit (Dell Inspirion 15 3567) was Linux Ubuntu 16.04, which i deleted and installed windows 10. Now i would like install back Linux but I don't know if the standard ISO File which i can download from the Linux website is the same which was on the unit or is there any way that i can obtain a system image?
The Canonical download version is pretty much the same one with the exceptions that it is a standard copy of Ubuntu without any Dell customizations such as Dell drivers, diagnostics and OS Restore capabilities.
Why not? There should be a way to create the recovery usb stick through some app like Dell OS Recovery Tool... however it doesnt seem to work (at least for me).
I have a Dell Gaming 7567 that came with UBuntu 16.04, which I removed to install Windows (I own a copy) and then reinstall Ubuntu with dual boot. However I cannot do this since I lost my key with the recovery Ubuntu image. So I tried the Canonical Ubuntu and surprise! It doesn`t work correctly. I have problems with the login screen and it keeps crashing. I also cannot turn it off correctly since it also crashes and I have to press and hold the power key.
So, yeah, there IS a way to get the iso, but someone is not doing her/his work correctly and thus I cannot download the image using Dell`s official app Dell OS Recovery Tool which only purpose is to make bootable USB sticks/CD/DVD with an OS image.
