Windows 10: Uninstall dell backup and recovery windows 10

I have a Dell Inspiron 17R laptop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded 8.1 and used that since 2013. I am now using Windows 10 and it has been it good transition until the last update. I keep getting messages about dell backup and recovery not being compatible with this version of Windows (Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.11). I would just like to unstall the Dell application since I do not need it. I have a backup of my system should I need it in the future. Do I need this program? Has anyone removed it without it causing problems?

Dell backup and recovery manager not working

Dell Backup and Recovery Factory Recovery Disk

I recently upgraded my Dell Inspiron 15R Core i7 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (which I like very much better than 8.1 by the way) and Dell Backup and Recovery keeps reminding me that I need to make a new Factory Recovery Disk. I have created a System Repair
Disk and created a System Image using the Windows utilities on Control Panel, but not a Dell Recovery Disk.

Do I need to do this?

Also, Dell Backup and Recovery keeps displaying annoying popup messages that are mostly advertising, and I am considering uninstalling it, but I have read mixed views on whether this is a good idea.

Is it safe to do this? Would I still be able to backup and recover my PC without it?

I haven't found anything on this topic from Win 10 users, so I would really appreciate some up-to-date advice. I find Dell Backup and Recovery 10% useful and 90% annoying, but I am scared to get rid of it without some reassurance (from someone other than
Dell).

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Hi Buck,

Whenever we get new Dell laptops in for our users at work, we remove Dell back up and recovery and it hasn't caused any issues at all so far. If you already have a method of backing up your system without using the Dell application, and the fact that you're getting a message saying it isn't compatible with your version of Windows 10 I would say just remove it if you have no need for it, it shouldn't cause any problems at all.

 

Thank you for the information. I did not think that the system needed it but wanted to communicate with someone such as yourself. Hope you have a good weekend!

 

On mine I have just disabled the services for it

So the software is still there, it never runs and if I do ever need it in the future its easy to activate again

 

No problem, hope you have a good weekend too!
