RECOVERY
If you are having trouble with your computer, and the
frequently asked questions (see Frequently asked
questions on page 72) do not help, you can recover your
computer.
This section describes the recovery tools available on your
computer. Acer provides Acer Care Center, which allows you
to reset your PC, refresh your PC, or create a factory
default backup.
Creating a factory default backup
Backup allows you to quickly and easily back up your
operating system, installed apps and data.
1. From Start, select All apps then Acer. Select Acer
Recovery Management in the list of Acer apps.
Acer Care Center is only available with a pre-installed Windows
operating system.
We recommend that you create a Factory Default Backup as
soon as possible. In certain situations a full recovery will require
a USB recovery backup.
Since the recovery backup requires at least 8
GB of storage after
formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity
of 16
GB or larger.
