The system drive cannot be found." Which based on other posts, had been attributed to the Dell Operating System Recovery Image not having automatically loaded the Intel storage drivers to support the internal M.2 drive.īut the "2DF4FA00_W10圆4ROW_pro(DL)_v3.iso" appeared to already solve that problem, and already provided those drivers. Note I did encounter the issue of "Unable to reset your PC.
(In which case, I'll probably prefer to use the January 2017 Microsoft media instead.) But I would think I'd prefer a Dell-configured image, intended specifically for the Precision 5510. Just wondering if this is a clue of me still not doing something correctly with the Operating System Recovery Image process, or that this is indeed the best outcome that can be expected using that media. ISO the Dell Support site provided for me to download was "2DF4FA00_W10圆4ROW_pro(DL)_v3.iso", which based on the dates inside the ISO, was prepared in March 2016. Since it's still based on the November 2015 release of Windows 10, the image clearly isn't "the latest". At least for drivers and hardware, if not also installed support software. I was expecting the "Download Operating System Recovery Image" to approximately match the shipping factory image for the Precision 5510. Meaning it didn't appear to restore "a Dell-customized Windows installation", nor "specifically prepared for the Precision 5510." Device Manager still had about a dozen drivers missing that Windows wouldn't pick up from locally installed drivers or Windows Update, etc.
But the resulting Windows 10 Pro 圆4 installation looked little different than if I had simply taken retail Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 圆4 1511 (November 2015) installation media and performed a clean installation. I successfully downloaded and wrote the "Windows 10 Pro - 64-Bit" image to a USB drive, and successfully used the "Recover from a drive" option as described. What should my expectations be after successfully using the Dell-provided "Download Operating System Recovery Image" for Windows 10 Pro 圆4 on a Precision 5510 laptop?
