XPS 15 Re-imaging guide for Microsoft Windows
Introduction
Re-imaging is the process of removing all software on the computer and reinstalling the removed software. Re-imaging is required when software in the computer is corrupted or damaged and can also be used as a means of removing harmful and malicious software in your computer. This re-imaging guide provides the steps required for re-imaging your computer.
- CAUTION: This re-imaging guide is designed for system administrators. Do not attempt to re-image the system if you are not an administrator or are unsure of the procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result in permanent data loss.
This guide assists you in installing Dell-recommended software stack and settings, drivers, and applications, which are tested and validated on the XPS 15-7590. The installation of the listed drivers and applications as described in the guide enhances the optimal performance of your computer.
It is always recommended to re-image on a newly-installed operating system and not from any previous image-build. Ensure BIOS settings, including SATA configurations and modes, are appropriately set and the latest drivers and applications are used when re-imaging the computer.
