Inspiron 11 3162, link to the recovery disk?
Guys please. I really need your help. Although my question is very easy, I just want a link to download Dell device recovery for this 9 year old Inspiron 11 3162. Because I deleted it by mistake when I wanted to download a new Windows. Please help me. Because I want to download the device recovery that comes from the company.

You can do a disc cleanup to remove temporary files, and uninstall the Windows components you don't use.
These were usually shipped with a slimmed down install of Windows. You're correct that 32G isn't enough data storage for Windows 10 (at least not a default install), but it can work with judicious control over what you keep and what you install. The system was designed to be as inexpensive as possible and really just as an appliance for browsing the Internet -- a Windows version of a chromebook, effectively.

If it's Windows 10, download the installer from MS --

If it's Windows 7, it will not be available -- it's dead and buried.

Thank you for your help. I have installed Windows 10 on it before. But look at the remaining space. Although I have not added any Windows updates yet. This means that if I think about adding any Windows updates. The C partition will be closed.
I am really confused. Because this device cannot be developed in any way. You cannot expand the device's hard disk and you cannot increase the RAM. Because everything is related to the motherboard.
Anyway, I will wait for another solution. Thank you for your help
See the picture. C space after installing Windows 10. Without any updates yet

Ok, that's ok. I'm thinking about it. I'll try to use a less graphical version than the original. Thanks for trying to help me. God bless you.
