ECOVERY
If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked
questions do not help, you can 'recover' your computer - i.e. return it
to an earlier state.
This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer.
Acer provides
Acer Recovery Management
, which allows you to
create a
recovery backup
, a
drivers and applications backup
, and to
start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or the recovery
backup.
Creating a recovery backup
To reinstall from a USB storage drive, you must first create a recovery
backup. The recovery backup includes the entire original contents of
your computer’s hard drive, including Windows and all factory-loaded
software and drivers. Using this backup will restore your computer to
the same state as when you purchased it, while giving you an option
to retain all settings and personal data.
Note
Acer Recovery Management is only available with a pre-installed Windows
operating system.
Important
We recommend that you create a
Recovery Backup
and
Drivers and
Applications Backup
and as soon as possible. In certain situations a
full recovery will require a USB recovery backup.
Note
Make sure you have a USB drive with a capacity of at least 16 GB.
