I reset my pc a few months ago, I downloaded windows from official microsoft site and installed it.The original widows that my laptop shipped with had significant better thermal like if I turned off turbo boost , the temp would be around 72 degree . after I reset my pc from microsoft , the temp I am getting is  around 84 degree. The fuction key function had a screen overlay but now it doesn't. Is there any way to revert back to original acer configured windows ?

I am using Acer predator helios 300 2019 version. Thanks in Advance.

    alt+f10 method is not working, I may have formatted the recovery drive when installling the new windows from microsoft.Is there any other way to get preinstalled version windows with all the acer driver ?

    Thanks for replying...If I do this, I wont get the acer version of the windows as I reset my pc .it would reset my pc to microsft version without all the driver and I don't think I would get better thermal after doint that.

    It depends if you blatted the recovery parition when you installed the new windows , normally when you do unless you re formatted the entire drive it will have kept it for future use. If so the option will restore it to what it was :)

    If you have wiped it, you could try re-installing all the drivers from the site to see if its something like a missing chipset driver / pred sense which is causing the higher thermals

    Outside of that i think acer only sell their recovery images, they arnt available to download :(
