    To reinstall Windows 8.1, you will have to first create an installation media (if you have not done this already). To do this, you can refer to the instructions mentioned on the following link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

     

    Once you have created the installation media, connect the media to the computer where you wish to reinstall Windows 8.1. Then, open setup.exe file in the media and follow on-screen instructions to reinstall Windows 8.1.

     

    If you are not able to create installation media, you need to contact Microsoft support for assistance. To do this the following link can be helpful:
    http://support.microsoft.com/ContactUs

     

    If you have got Windows 8.1 pre-installed by Acer, you can contact Acer support on the following link for further assistance:

    That is my problem, how do I create an installation media from an acer computer since I can not get one from microsoft(because I have an acer computer)?

    There must be some way of reinstalling my crappy computer and just get rid of all the **bleep** that came preinstalled and buggy acer drivers?
