Item 1: A Dell or HP recovery disk is the same across all models. They won't auto activate based on the BIOS key because the media is generic, not manufacturer specific, but as long as there is a valid 25 digit COA typed into the machine it will activate just fine. It's up to you to supply the 7 media, if needed.Īlso, i want to add that none of the solutions listed (besides mine of course) will activate. Because it's an 8 machine you get the 8 media. That's how the licensing with MS works - it's a Windows 8 machine that's been downgraded to 7. The new pro systems ship with disc, but even if you order a Win7 unit, it only comes with the Win8 disc. Recovery disks for one model are made for that model, not for other models. Yes, that's pretty much always been true. On top of that, you can't use one set of disc for one model on another model with guaranteed success, and if it does work and load, chances are you will have driver issues
