Will the recovery utility allow me to re-install the whole system by specifying the use of fully encrypted file systems only? I know already I may encrypt just the users' homes but I am interested in full file system encryption. In general, to what degree do I depend on the recovery partition to be sure that my Dell laptop uses the set of drivers and features that have been fine tuned by the Dell team for the XPS 13 / M3800 hardware? I realise that the recovery partition is probably just a few Gbs, but it's a waste to keep them there when I could make an .iso for the same (and somewhere in this forum other users describe how making the .iso fails), particularly if I go for the premium SSD opton.
