How to get Dell's recovery image without having Windows already installed?
Solution 1:
Nowadays you can always use dells recovery image download tool. Not sure if older computers are supported, but I'm just downloading Windows 10 for my dell and looks good so far. maybe give that a try if you, like me, came to this forum thread in 2018 ;)
