Returning Your System To Its Factory Condition; Recovering From Windows - Acer TravelMate Serie Manual De Usuario

5. A confirmation window appears; click Yes. Your system is restored
using the restore point you specified. This process may take several
minutes, and may restart your computer.

Returning your system to its factory condition

If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other
methods, you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its
factory condition. You can recover from either your hard drive or the
recovery backup you have created.
• If you can still run Windows and have not deleted the recovery partition,
see "Recovering from Windows" on page 23.
• If you cannot run Windows, your original hard drive has been completely
re-formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive, see
"Recovering from a recovery backup" on page 25.

Recovering from Windows

Start Acer Recovery Management:
• From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
Two options are available, Restore Factory Settings (Reset my PC) or
Customized Restore (Refresh my PC).
Restore Factory Settings deletes everything on your hard drive, then
reinstalls Windows and all software and drivers that were pre-installed on
your system. If you can access important files on your hard drive, back
them up now. See "Restore Factory Settings with Acer Recovery
Management" on page 24.
Customized Restore will attempt to retain your files (user data) but will
reinstall all software and drivers. Software installed since you purchased
your PC will be removed (except software installed from the Windows
Store). See "Customized Restore with Acer Recovery Management"
on page 25.
