Hello folks,

 

I have Acer Aspire 5740 laptop and the HDD seems to be on the last legs. Before it crashes, I would like to upgrade to new 1 TB Seagate SSHD.

 

I have everything with me but I am confused on how do I transfer factory restore partition on my current HDD to new HDD?

 

And, if I can create restore media on USB flash drive. The Acer eRecovery Management application installed on the laptop is 4.05.3005. I know version 5.x can make flash drives. So I wondered if I can install the latest version and make a USB recovery media.

If I can, a link to new version will be appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance.
