    hi....

     

    You have two option to restore the factory shipped operating system, drivers and application shipped with your computer.
    First option is to create the USB recovery media before replacing the hard disk
    Second option is to purchase the recovery disc to restore the factory shipped operating system, drivers and application shipped with your computer.
     
    Here is the steps to create the recovery disc :
    • You will need to disable power management settings before creating your backup drive.

    Use the following steps to create your backup drive:

    1. Press the Windows (Image: icon_Windows8_key.png) key + Q.
    2. Type Recovery, and click Acer Recovery Management.
    3. Click Create Factory Default Backup.
    4. Select Copy content from the recovery partition to the recovery drive, and click Next.
    5. Select your USB Flash Drive, and click Next.
    6. Click Create. When asked to delete the recovery partition from your computer, click No.
