4 Year Old Laptop (Can't fix) HELP!!!!!!
1) Burn Windows 10 installer onto USB (no luck)
2) attempted to wipe eMMc drive on Diskpart (no luck)
Whenever I booted into the installer, It would tell me Windows couldn't be installed on the eMMc and, As I said I accidentally deleted ERecovery, I cannot do Alt+F10. No effect. Is my hard drive busted or is there a way to fix? By the way, The warranty is null and void

1) Burn Windows 10 installer onto USB (no luck)
2) attempted to wipe eMMc drive on Diskpart (no luck)

Actually, you may don't have to purchase the recovery media.
Find a healthy computer and install a partition manager that supports creating bootable media. Prepare a USB drive and make bootable USB drive.
Start off you Acer with the bootable USB. You'll enter into the WinPE mode without booting Windows. In the WinPE, you'll find the exact partition manager.
Format or wipe the hard drive with the tool's features. It will success because you perform the task without Windows environment. Finally, you can do clean install on that drive.
