My original  installation got wrecked. Somebody installed another version of win 8.1 but I want to fresh install my original win 8.1 and have its serial number and everything is legal. Where can I download it from?

    Before performing fresh installation of Windows Operating System, it is recommended to take all the backup of the data from the computer. To help you install Windows 8.1 Operating System, please follow the step-by-step instructions given on the link below:

    Hope this will help you.

    You don't mention which model  you have, but most newer computers have the activation key stored in the UEFI BIOS, so you should be activated as long as they installed the correct version of Windows. If they didn't, you can likely purchase the original recovery disks from the Acer store in the USA or through Acer support if outside the US.
