Recovering from Windows | Acer Iconia W3 guide

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 65.

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 67.
