Hi, I was wondering if there's an easy way to restore my laptop back to factory settings, minus bloatware? I formatted my drive attempting a clean install and now I think the recovery partition is empty. The point is, I need to have all partitions back to the way it was, including the recovery partition, and other three I'm not really sure what they were. Then, I need a clean install of Windows, and Acer drivers and software like PredatorSense, and other essential stuff, but not stuff like third party programs with offers, etc.
It's a Predator Helios 500 i7/1070, 256gb ssd, 1tb hdd

If you want to restore to factory settings (not windows default, but acer factory default), contact acer for a recovery USB drive, and use that.adpwns said:Hi, I was wondering if there's an easy way to restore my laptop back to factory settings, minus bloatware?

Well if you dont want any of the acer apps you dont need the acer recovery drive as it will install all acer apps with windows if you want a clean windows just install any fresh windows and if you're interested in testing a barebone windows without any windows apps and background telemetry services or any other windows ***** that just mess up with your usage/temps just basically windows itself with the essentials only compiled especially for gamers u can join the H300/H500 fb groups and find it there but as @sri369 said if you want everything back as it was from factory because you deleted the recovery partition only way its to either buy a acer usb recovery if you're in the US (US only they don't ship outside US) if you're outside US your only option its to contact acer support for them to get your laptop back to factory but they might charge you for that as it was you who formatted it, my advice to everyone always clone your drive before you start to play with it because if you mess something up u will always have a backup factory clone to get all back
