Want to ask if I am buying laptop from dell (without dvd/cd room one) how am I going to reformat it then?
For Example: Dell Vostro 14 5000 series (no dvd/cd room)

Nowadays if buying laptop from dell, will dell give the original reformat windows cd/dvd?
For Example: Inspiron 14 5000 (with cd room)

Please guide. Thanks.

Just use USB tool copy the whole Windows ISO file into the USB drive and format with it.

Nope, they include the installation in separate recovery HDD partition, you won't get any discs.

DVD so 90s. Now use USB to boot and reinstall everything. Learn. Google is your friend.
