No External Boot Devices Acer Aspire A114-31

Hi, I have the Acer Aspire A114-31 (N17Q4) which has run out of disk space. I decided to clean up by re-installing the factory settings from the Recovery partition. The process failed because there wasn’t enough free disk space to complete the task. I then took the stupid approach of deleting too many files so the system now won’t even boot up.

I want to attempt to re-install windows from DVD or USB but there’s no bootable devices or ports available other than the hard drive.

the Bios version is 1.09 and I have turned off secure boot but that made no difference.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to boot from USB or external DVD ?

thanks very much

Você pode informar se o seu modelo veio com um emmc?

This model comes with an emmc of only 32gb. I suggest you check if your model has a slot to install a hard drive or an ssd:

How did you solve the problem?

After a few attempts I managed to reinstall windows using the recovery partition. The process failed at 54% but on the fifth attempt it worked !
