If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked 
questions (
see Frequently asked questions on page 62
) 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
Since the recovery backup requires at least 16
 
GB of storage after formatting,            
it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity of 32
 
GB or larger.
