Use the following steps to start the system recovery:
- Restart the computer.
- When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt, and the F10 keys.
- If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows boot screen, press the Enter key.
- After the Acer eRecovery Management application has loaded, select your restore type.
- Read the notice, and then click Next when you are ready.
- Click Next to begin the restore process. The restore can take anywhere from 10 minutes up to an hour.
- Once the restore is complete your computer will load Windows and start installing your drivers and software. Your computer may reboot several times during this process. After everything is complete your computer will be like it was when you first purchased it.
