System install problem. issue with being hacked badly and took my machine to a local computer store.

I had an issue with being hacked badly and took my machine to a local computer store. They told me that they could resolve the issue but would have to re-install windows 10. I said fine and I backed up my machine. When i got it back it was a nightmare. Anyways i lost the Predator programs where you can turn off the lighting inside the machine and other things that are just weird that's going on. I talked to the store and they said nothing they can do. Not ever going back there again. Is there a way i can reinstall the files to take this machine back to normal as in when i bought it. I've looked through Acers site but not sure what I should be getting. Hope someone here can help out.

Hi @dnimigon please indicate the exact model and operating system.
Have you checked that the recovery of the computer installed by Acer is still operational?

For most Predator desktops, the Acer support site has those specific utilities online for download. Just enter your model number (like PO3-640) and go to the Applications section.
