Since there is no "Backup and Restore" Forum as yet, I am posting this message here. I am sorry if this is not right.
I got the new Windows 8 Dell Laptop over a week back. The Laptop did not even have a sticker at the bottom for the Product Key and I had to extract it using a third party applet. No Recovery Media came with it and there was only a Recovery Partition. I realized much later that I had to make the Factory Recovery Media myself and I did that on a thumb drive. But by then I had uninstalled some of the bloatware the Laptop was saddled with and installed a few of my favourite programs.
My question is whether the Factory Recovery Media is the same irrespective of when it is made or keeps changing with time as one installs and uninstalls programs? My gut feeling is that it does not change with time.
