Hi chris4845

You have two ways of reinstalling Windows on your PC:

1. Within Windows: Click Start>All Programs>Acer>Acer eRecovery Management, then click "Restore". Select "Completely Restore...." option

2. Restart your PC. On the Acer Logo screen, press & hold ALT & F10, this too will start the process.

Remember to back up any documents etc as this will erase them. Also note, that from the eRecovery management, you can burn your own recovery disks. Great if you have a hard drive failure!
