New Dell XPS 15 L502--Powered Off, Did Not Complete Setup Process - Help Needed

Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum. Been lurking around since I started looking for a new notebook. You guys are great. Finally ordered the Dell XPS 15 L502x and it came early. I powering it up to see what it looked like.

It immediately wanted me to setup Windows 7 which I did. After that a box came up on the screen to set up 5 things on the notebook. I remember one was making recovery discs, another was connecting to the internet; others were probably drivers, etc?? I didn't have any DVD's to make recovery discs and no internet connection(just moved) so I just turned off the notebook.

I haven't set up a new computer in a while, so I was happy to see that it would guide me through the 5 steps. However, when I turned it on today, Windows 7 loaded up fine but I can't figure out how to get to that initial set-up screen. I'm really hoping someone can help me find it(best option) or tell me what I need to do next(2nd best option)

Should I make recovery discs using Dell DataSafe? Should I do a backup using Dell DataSafe. Or should I be using Window 7 for that? As you can tell I am a little lost so if you reply please be as specific as possible. Do I need to make recovery discs now or should I wait until I have installed any software I want to put on the notebook and removed anything I don't want.

Note: I have no OS Recovery Disc from Dell, only the Drivers Disc.

If there is any link here in the forums to what to do on your new Dell XPS 15 please point me in that direction, but the ones I've come across seem kind of disjointed and not really step-by-step for users who haven't set up a new computer in quite a while.
Thanks for any help!

If I go into Dell DataSafe Local Backup-Basic Edition

It says: What Would You Like to Restore?

Option: Restore your entire system to a previous date or to the factory state?

Will clicking on this restore option(factory state) get my computer back to where it was when I first opened the box and let me start the Windows 7 setup from scratch?? with the partition intact and the included software still there?

Should I make recovery discs 1st before doing this?

Should I even be thinking about restoring to factory state or just figuring out the set up step myself; creating recovery discs? updating drivers? etc.

 

I don't really understand why you think it's necessary to do a factory restore... did something go wrong during the Win 7 set up?

If not... just go ahead and create the recovery disc(s) and update drivers if you need to. You have a recovery partition, so a recovery disc is only necessary should your HDD fail on you. You don't need Win7 set up to do these things.

There's tons of things you might want to do when setting up your new lappy. It's all personal preference... You can prevent unneeded programs from initiating at Start Up, configure the power profiles to optimize battery life, as well as fixing a common fan problem, register McAfee 1 year subscription (free), adjust the sound settings, set restore points...

Win7 set up only covers some very basic stuff, and there's not really anything that can't be undone or changed at a later date. A factory restore seems extreme.

 

Setup doesn't update drivers. Recovery disk is largely useless imo (there is a recovery partition, in case your hard drive craps out, just send to Dell for repairs)

Windows 7 setup basically connects to wifi (can be done after logging in) and setting up user account and time (can be done after logging in_
