We had an Optiplex 3030 desktop hard drive die on us, and I had to replace the hard drive with a blank unit from Dell. The unit came with Dell's Windows 10 (64-bit) media installation DVD, but I'm not seeing a way to be able to reinstall the OS from it? It's behaving like I need to have Windows 10 already installed on the hard drive, in order to do a system restore. The machine came shipped with Windows 10, and is licensed for the operating system, so I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening?
This hasn't been the case with any previous OS discs that shipped with Dell units (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1). Why the change in method, where I can't reinstall Windows 10 cleanly to a Dell system?
