    Contact Acer in your country and talk to them regarding Acer product registration, also, it could be that when you registered your Acer new product the Acer site was down and your registration hasn't been recorded.

    When your Acer product is registered you should have an Acer account with you My Profile and My Products listed under your name like shown below. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    A notification about your email account, especially if it's not associated with the device you're using, could indicate a few things: suspicious activity, a wrong email address used as a contact, or a scam. It's important to investigate the notification and secure your account if necessary.

    Here's a breakdown of potential scenarios and actions you should take:
    1. Suspicious Activity:
    Review Recent Activity:
    Go to your email provider's website (e.g., Google, Microsoft) and check your account's security settings and recent activity logs.
    Look for Unfamiliar Devices or Locations:
    If you see sign-ins from devices or locations you don't recognize, it could indicate unauthorized access.
    Change Your Password:
    If you find suspicious activity, immediately change your password to something strong and unique.
    Enable Two-Factor Authentication:
    Consider enabling two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security.
    2. Incorrect Email Address:
    Verify the Email Address:
    Double-check the sender's address in the notification. It's possible the email was sent to the wrong address.
    Contact the Sender:
    If you believe the email was intended for someone else, reply to the sender and let them know.
    3. Potential Scam:
    Be Wary of Urgent Requests: Scammers often use urgency to make you act without thinking.
    Don't Click Links or Download Attachments: Avoid clicking on any links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
    Report the Scam: Report the scam to your email provider and relevant authorities.
    4. Other Possible Causes:
    Incorrectly configured email settings:
    Sometimes, notifications might be triggered by incorrect settings on your email client or device.
    Third-party applications:
    Check which third-party apps have access to your email account and revoke access for any you don't recognize.
