Dell Technologies recommends that supported computers use Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Automated by SupportAssist for a premium restoration experience. See our article, Restore your Computer Using SupportAssist OS Recovery for restoration instructions. For a list of computers that support SupportAssist OS Recovery, see the Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Support Matrix.

If your computer does not support Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery, Dell provides operating system recovery images online. This is for the Windows, Ubuntu, or Linux image that was factory installed on your computer. The Dell OS Recovery Tool provides an interface to quickly download and create a bootable USB drive to reinstall the operating system.

The Dell OS Recovery Tool helps you download the operating system recovery image that is customized for your Dell computer and create a USB recovery media. The Dell OS Recovery Tool allows you to download either Microsoft Windows, Ubuntu, or Linux operating system recovery image that was preinstalled on your Dell computer.

Yes, the Advanced Mode in the Dell operating system Recovery Tool allows you to create a USB recovery media. It uses an operating system image file in ISO file format. This is useful if you downloaded the operating system recovery image using a Linux, Mac, or Android device.

Windows 10 or Windows 11 or Windows 11 recovery image enables you to format the hard drive and install a clean copy of Windows 10. The file size of this recovery image is considerably higher than the Windows 10 or Windows 11 Automated by SupportAssist.

The Windows 10 and Windows 11 Automated by SupportAssist recovery image can create USB recovery media for Dell computers that support SupportAssist OS Recovery. (Figure 12 [English only].)

Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery provides a recovery environment with tools to diagnose and troubleshoot issues that may occur before your computer boots to the operating system. When your computer is unable to boot to the operating system after repeated attempts, it automatically starts SupportAssist OS Recovery. This recovery environment enables you to diagnose hardware issues, repair your computer, back up your files, or restore your computer to its factory state.

SupportAssist OS Recovery is supported on select Dell computers that run a Dell factory-installed Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. For the list of computers where SupportAssist OS Recovery is available, see the Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Support Matrix under Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Support Documentation.

Typical recovery image files for the operating system in an ISO file format are between 5-16 GB in size. (The file size varies between different operating systems.) Once the file is downloaded, the Dell operating system Recovery Tool verifies the integrity of the file before creating the USB recovery media. The time to download and verify that the integrity of the file can vary depending on network speed and file size.

You may receive a "Not enough space on drive" error. Where you download a large file through a Dell online application such as Dell OS Recovery tool. This is due to a space limitation on the hard drive where the files are being saved to. Some operating system recovery images can be up to 16 GB in file size.

To correct this error, free up additional disk space on the hard drive. For information about freeing up disk space in Microsoft Windows, see the Dell knowledge base article: How to Free up Disk Space in Microsoft Windows.

The operating system recovery image may not contain the latest device drivers for your Dell computer. The latest device drivers are available at Dell.com/support/drivers. After the operating system is installed, Dell Technologies recommends that you download and install the latest device drivers.

The Dell operating system Recovery Tool fails to launch after installation, or running the installer does not start the installation process. You can temporarily disable the anti-virus or anti-malware software that may be installed on the computer and then run the application or the installer again.

Since upgrading to Windows 10, on my Alienware 17R3, I Constantly keep getting a popup to "update Your Recovery Media". I did update my recovery media immediately after upgrading to windows 10, But I still keep getting the popup every time i reboot my laptop and almost every hour or so. I have clicked on "Do Not remind me" option on popup , but I Still Get it!

I figured it no harm to trying to update my recovery media again just a couple days ago to see if I could get rid of the nagging popup, But I am still getting it. :emotion-18: Has anyone else experienced this and know any solution/suggestions??

I have the same problem and my operating system is Windows 8.1. This all started with the last Dell Backup & Restore software update. I called tech support but they won't look at the problem unless I pay since my system is out of warranty.

I have windows 8.1 and I also had an update for backup and restore software. Mine was popping up all the time asking question. I figured out how to get rid of it. First when installing or updating software there is a two step process. One is to update the software. Step two is to make a usb backup, if you don't do a new usb backup after the software update the pop up will drive you crazy. Even though I already had a backup copy on a usb drive I went ahead and did another copy because your software was updated your software wants to do a backup with the new version of software that it just updated.

I'm using win10 on a dell laptop and having the same problem. I am not using the program because I"m using a Western Digital backup. When the popup comes up, it gives me three options: update media, remind me later or do not remind me. I have clicked the "Do not remind me" a few dozen times and it still keeps coming back at regular intervals. I want to know how to stop it from coming back. Do I need to uninstall the program?

Sorry, It's been a long time now since I had this problem , but as previous user (dncingfool) said I believe it had something to do with choosing the backup option after clicking on the popup. You can use External Hard drive, DVD's or USB I believe.

Uninstall it. Solved my problem. Backup your data manually to an external media source. Download an installer for Dell Command Update and if you need to re-install windows you can use Command Update to download a full list of drivers for your system devices. You may need to manually install a network driver first if you're using a clean install of windows though.

I had this same problem on a Dell Precision 4800 with Windows 10; regardless of which option I checked, it popped up and interrupted my work every hour. I finally fixed it by going to "Add or Remove Programs" and uninstalling "Dell Backup and Recovery".
