Hey Rob,The Dell desktop does come with a restore disk. And that's a big 'Thank God'. Although I bought this pc as a birthday gift for my brother, I also have Windows xp. I am not, computer, savvy enough to advance to Windows 8. And now if something happens with my pc, I just can borrow the restore disk and be up and running again like nothing ever happened. Thanks, Rick

Yes,it did but didn't (or as of yet)need it as it was already downloaded for me.I think that you'll find the same experience.I was Very Happy with that off my mind. Take the leap! I did and found no problems. Eddy Z.

Mine did which was one of the reasons I bought it. However you can also download Windows XP to a computer.

Yes it does. You make the discs yourself, the computer guides you. As well as other recovery options.

Mine did not come with a restore disk. A restore disk is used when you have to wipe your computer, either if you've received a virus, etc. and need to re-install the operating system.

It came with windows 7. I emailed the company and told them the situation and they sent an XP hard drive free of charge and didn't want the Windows 7 back. They sent it next day delivery. They were very prompt and helpful.

Mine has the XP Professional system on it. It works well. but it has a low graphics card that is easily replaced, if you plan on doing any higher end gaming.

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.

It depends which seller you buy it from. Some will include a restore disc but others will not. So before purchasing you might want to try contacting the seller and ask if it will come with a restore disc. But more than likely if it were to include a restore disc it will say so in the description of the product. I hope this has helped you, Chris

It comes with OS pre-installed and a genuine MS Window 7 Pro installation disc. If you ask, we will install MS Office 2007 Pro as a complimentary upgrade as well.

Hello Brian, the answer is, there is no installation instruction,however, there is a user manual that comes with it, for "after" installation use. I upgraded from XP Pro and used the XP operation system disk to format the drive and then installed the win 7 professional disk. Hope i made sense to you...

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed, and 2 "restore" CDs for Windows 8, or at least that's what they are labeled. Honestly, I like Windows 7 so well that I'm not worried about pursuing Windows 8, especially since this model doesn't have a touchscreen.

Yes mine came with the recovery disk. Also fresh install of win 7 was on the pc.

Mine did come with Windows 7 Home Premium & I can see your concern, under the title "XP Professional" . Product details does claim it to be a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Uncertain what the "XP Professional" applies to? Do contact the seller to be certain.

It comes with Windows 8 installed. It is a bit different from XP, but with the touchscreen, it's fairly intuitive.

Yes, it does. I have used it with XP PRO, Vista and 7. It works very well and has great image quality.

No it does not. I had to use my recovery discs from the hard drive I was replacing.
