I'm so dumb to let my friend format the disk C and install a cracked windows 10 pro edition (she did all the craps when I was away from my computer). I'd like to reinstall/restore my original licensed windows 10 home edition. Can someone tell me please how to get the licensed version back? Thank you.

My goodness! There's still recovery partition. Please tell me how to restore from that partition.sri369 said:Chances are you yourself did it... don't worry, no one points fingers here :-)
1. Check the partitions... is the recovery partition still there. If yes, you can try to restore from there.
2. If the recovery partition is not there, you are out of luck.
Two options if hard disk is clean partitioned:
1. Contact acer, ask for recovery usb to be shipped (free or cost based on region).
2. Download the version of windows you got preinstalled (windows 10 home), create recovery usb, and install from it. It should pick up the key from motherboard, and you should be good.
