I installed Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 on my Aspire One 725. I was then prompted to restart it after installation. However, the restart failed and I have not been able to load the netbook past the acer logo since then. I have tried several times to re-boot but not successful. Please help.

    First, try a cold boot by pressing and holding the power button till the system shuts off. Then power up again. Report back.

    Yes, thanks a lot. I was able to load the machine by following your instruction. However, it loaded back Windows 8.1, which is OK, for now. Will work with it till i'm sure and confident to upgrade to Windows 10.

    Good going! Also, you should create system repair/recovery media if you decide to try to install Win10 again. Just in case your hidden erecovery partition is lost during the installation.
