No most branded manufacturer systems now have a recovery partition on the hard drive. Check your manual as it should give you instructions on how to create a set of recovery disks from that partition. This is what you would use in case you ever needed to return your system to factory new state. They do this now to lower the price of the systems when you buy them.
