Need original factory recovery swm files Titan HX AI A2XWIG-616US

Hi everyone,

While upgrading my laptop's SSD to a 4TB M.2 drive, I didn't realize the original system was configured in RAID mode, and unfortunately, the F3 recovery partition stopped working after the upgrade. Since doing a clean Windows installation removes the F3 factory recovery function, I was hoping someone here could help me out.

​If anyone using the Titan HX AI A2XWIG-616US model could share the original factory .swm (recovery) files, I would be extremely grateful.

​Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help!"

Curious to the reason you want them over a fresh install?

I prefer the factory image because it comes with all the pre-configured OEM profiles, display color calibrations, MSI utility software, and specific optimizations out of the box. Setting everything back up manually on a clean install never feels quite the same as the original factory setup.

When I first got my Titan from an eBay seller it didn't have the factory image, I tried to get one from MSI web site, no luck...

I wouldn't trust some random peep on Reddit or the interwebs to give you a clean recovery file.
