    Hello everybody,
    I just got refubrished Alienware M14X R2. :)
    It came with preinstalled windows 7 pro 64 bit. However, no win7 installation dvd has been shipped with it... :(
    The laptop has HDD and SSD. Currently win 7 is installed on HDD, but I would really like to reinstall it to SSD.
    How can I obtain win7 install dvd? Or is it possible to make a backup with AlienRespawn to reinstall windows to SSD? Any ideas?
    Thanks. ;)

    You can ring dell and ask for them to send you the OS on a DVD. Every system purchase from dell is entitled to a resource and OS DVD. I assume you bought it from the outlet?
