I successfully downloaded and wrote the "Windows 10 Pro - Bit" image to a USB drive, and successfully used the "Recover from a drive" option as described. But the resulting Windows 10 Pro x64 installation looked little different than if I had simply taken retail Microsoft Windows 10 Pro x64 November installation media and performed a clean installation.
Meaning it didn't appear to restore "a Dell-customized Windows installation", nor "specifically prepared for the Precision I was expecting the "Download Operating System Recovery Image" to approximately match the shipping factory image for the Precision At least for drivers and hardware, if not also installed support software. Since it's still based on the November release of Windows 10, the image clearly isn't "the latest".
Note the. Just wondering if this is a clue of me still not doing something correctly with the Operating Windows 10 home os recovery 64bit em - usb (rs3 1017) free download Recovery Image process, or that this is indeed the best outcome that can be expected using that media.

But the "Recover from a drive" process failed with "The system drive cannot be found", until I put a basic Windows 10 installation back onto the M.
Indeed, when I successfully use the Dell "Operating System Recovery Image" and haven't granted any network access to the machine, the Windows 10 Pro installation the recovery image provides doesn't have the drivers for the Precision devices.
But I also said once connected to the network and using Windows Update, it wasn't finding the drivers either. So the question remains, what is the expected outcome from using the Dell "Operating System Recovery Image"? I don't see anything in the results of successfully using that image which are Dell-specific, nor Precision specific. So it seems like "there is something more in there", but I'm just not seeing it or not using it correctly.
