    What OS came with the laptop? Is it the same OS you are using right now, or have you installed Windows again yourself?

    How to use Dell Recovery Partition,make Recovery Disks & how to order Recovery Disks.
    Dell - Support

       Information
    We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
    & made the Startup Repair CD.

    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

    You don't seem to have a recovery partition.

    Did you make recovery disks?

    If not, your only choice may be to download an ISO of your Windows version from mydigitallife.info, burn it to a disc, and reinstall.

    Or order recovery disks from Dell as TheOG says.
