How to factory reset, restore your Acer laptop 

Thank you !!!! I could not find an actual "factory reset" option on the computer. I typed it and looked for it, but nothing. This helped so much !

After using that stupid F8 tap, the Shift+Restart, this one worked. My uncle thanks you for this video.

Thank you so much! I’ve been scrolling through RU-vid all morning and this is the only helpful video that actually worked !

Saved me $100 customer service fee at acer without warranty. Thank you so much

Thank you so much! Every video I was looking at kept throwing me for Windows 11, took me about 20 minutes after searching acer Windows 8 to even find this. Thank you so much for making something that was starting to infuriate me, so much blooming easier! You explained it really well and and helped a bunch!

Thank You For your Help. It saved me from getting more grey hair.Thank You again

Nice clear instructions, hopefully it's enough to save my slow laptop to at least run Minecraft lol. Thank you for this sweet straight to the point video!

When I did alt f10 it went to reset password with security questions I answered them and easy pezy thanks brother 🔥🔥🔥

thank you for this man. my laptop has been insanely slow so hopefully a full wipe will help.

after clicking fully clean drive it says “ Additional free space is needed on the drive Windows is installed” How do I free up space without being able to get to the desktop?

When you totally clean the laptop, will it affect the windows 10 performance ?

This is so helpful. Thank you.

Just bought a new laptop from a store , it was an open box one, it had the stores Ads and Layout Demo. Been wanting to know how to do a whole wipe out because for some reason i couldn't find a way to remove their stuff from my intro screen. And every time it tied out it went back to it's in-store "explore this pc " demo screen. Hopefully this video is the answer to finally get this PC up and running how i like it. Just bought it a day ago so. We will see.

Wow thanks a million 😊

Thank you so much!!! FYI guys this method also works for Windows too. You just have to press F11 instead of F10

Great information 👍

Thank you so much it wouldn’t let me give me login into my original Gmail account so I’m resetting it and hopefully that will do the trick

If I follow this after the reset will the Acer laptop applications that came with the laptop will still be there?, like the RGB app for the keyboard, AMD software, NVIDIA Geforrce software and Planet9 Snub software.

Thank you! Does anyone know the difference between an ACER factory reset and a Windows reset?

Amazing 😻 lol 😆 thx so much 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much 😍

This is the best method work 100 %

Thank you my friend

After selecting either “just remove files” it requested for space. How do I go about that?🤧

I did all that step by step, I got to the point where it says Reset this PC/ Fully clean the drive. It then took few minutes starting as 1% until it got up to 100% and an automatic message appeared on the screen saying: Installing Windows, computer will start stop several times. It did start and stop several times but it went until 64% only and then got stuck at this point for hours and hours going no more than 64% so I finally switched it off. My question is, bearing above in mind , was my reset fully completed and all the data on the drive cleared? I had to give my laptop back to my previous employer so I just want to make sure now that everything was wiped off and nobody will see or use my files. Please advise.

I tried this but after pressing alt and f10 the screen turned grey for a very long time. Any help?

Ok, I did all that, now my screen says... additional free space is needed on the drive where Windows is installed. Free up some space & try again. How do I free up space? I figured once I wiped it clean that it would wipe clean and I could start fresh... Please help?

Thanks dude
