Hi. I have an acer Aspire 5336 series here and i want to go back to Windows 7 (I installed Windows 8.1 on it via DVD) but the recovery partition that requires ALT+F10 on boot won't work. I tried doing stuff in the BIOS to try fixing it, but that didn't work either. If you have any suggestions please reply.
Thanks!

    I also have some videos about it, but I can't use them on this website.

    As you have installed Windows 8.1 using DVD, that process would have deleted the recovery partition. If you would like to have the original factory OS in the computer, the only option is to buy Recovery Media from Acer and use it to reload OS. You can buy Recovery Media by contacting Acer Technical Support https://www.acer.com/worldwide/ in your region.
