No, it does not include recovery discs. However, after you get the computer up and running, there is a way for you to burn them yourself. It takes 3 DVDs (many more CDs). They warn that you can only burn one set of recovery discs, so don't lose them.

Manufacturer's reply: "Now(a)days laptop does not come with recovery disks,as the recovery system is in built in the system". As recommended by the quick guide, I got a new (or empty) 16 GB USB memory stick and followed the procedure under "recovery backup". It took more than 1 hour to finish, then labeled the stick and put it safe.

I bought it refurbished from Atlanta Electronics or something and it was great. Came with Microsoft Office and some other stuff but I ended up installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 for my own personal needs. Hands down one of the best buys I've ever made- great laptop, durable, no damage whatsoever, fast, dependable. Mine had a webcam, CD drive, everything you would expect on a laptop. Did not come with system disks, but there may be a 1 year limited warranty or something.

The laptop does have bluetooth and it works well. I have the windows 8 recovery disks but I don't seem to have any Windows 7 recovery disks. It seems like it came with Windows 8 but they downgraded it, so all of the recovery disks are for Windows 8. I just cloned the initial harddrive in case anything happens I can just put it back tot he way it was when I got it.

No CD/DVD Drive is included in this laptop. An external drive can be purchased and used through a USB connection. Hope this helps

It's just a drivers/utility DVD. The Windows 7 install DVD must be created via the recovery partiton (4 DVD's to burn!). And it will only restore the partition & Windows to their factory state (all other info on the drive will be destroyed.)

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating system in the event the drive fails.

In my opinion, Dell should include a recovery/ re-installation disc as part of the purchase... but, unfortunately, they don't. It's my understanding, however, that after you register your computer, you can contact Dell and request a recovery disc. I haven't done this... yet. It should be interesting to see if Dell charges anything for the re-install disc. In regards to shipping to Puerto Rico... I don't know; but, I can't imagine why there would be a problem with that.

Mine did not. Caution, it also does not come with a completer recovery program. I was surprised when I learned that Dell wants owners of this computer to purchase the recovery program that used to come free with all computers. Seems like an unfair way for them to make extra money from unsuspecting customers. I will not buy another Dell product.

Windows 7 came pre-installed. No OS disk was provided. The only option is to make a recovery disk.
