    If it originally had Win10 ACER factory installed, you can re-install the factory Win10 from the hidden recovery partition using the ALT+F10 cold boot method as shown in the video below. Jack E/NJ

    No - it didn't have win 10 factory installed. I tried installing win 10 off a usb drive made with rufus. When it tries to boot off the usb drive I receive this error.

    Does your USB stick boot to a screen with options for 'troubleshooting' or 'advanced tools" ? We need to try to get to the USB's command prompt. ' X: \windows\system32\>_ '  Jack E/NJ
