The recovery does not work and I cannot reinstall windows from the USB stick as the partitions are locked. The installation starts by choosing the partition on the ssd m.2 but it gives me an error at 69% of the operation.

    What kind of computer do you have (full model number)? What drive is in it? How did you create the recovery stick?

    I did not create a recovery key because the operating system starts and after about 5 minutes it shuts down by mistake bsod

    OK, are you good with a wipe and reinstall, or do you need to copy data off first? In diskpart select disk 0 as you did, then 'list part' and 'list vol' and show us the result.

    OK, go ahead and boot from your install flash drive and start the install process. When it gets to the part where you choose the partition, have it delete each partition until there is nothing except unallocated space, then install to the unallocated space. It will create the needed system partitions for you and won't have any trouble with permissions.

    Take the picture before that box pops up. There are commands under the list of partitions, including the Delete command when a partition is selected. You need to delete each of those partitions on the drive so that there is nothing but unallocated space, then allow the install to continue.
    I don't understand the language, but I believe it is telling you that you can't install Windows into that tiny EFI partition... :)

    The problem is that no partitions can be deleted. I know the controls well. There seems to be protection on the partitions that won't let me delete them.

    There shouldn't be anything that would stop you from deleting partitions from the Windows install environment. You are completely bypassing the Windows permissions when you run in the PE environment... Could you translate the error message from your image for me? Since it's an image I can't just highlight, copy and paste into Google Translate. :(

    Windows cannot be installed in this hard disk space. windows must be installed on a partition in NTFS format.
    Windows cannot be installed in this hard disk space. the partition is an EFI system partition.

    You need to select the C: partition there if you can't delete the others. When it asks where to install Windows you need to have the largest partition selected.

    we are not understanding each other. I can not in any way to delete any of the partitions in order to perform a clean installation of windows 10. no dos commands work and even formatting with linux has not worked. linux tells me that there are protections on the memories.

    I can't delete the partitions because they are protected!
    Virtual disk service error:Unable to delete a protected partition without the set security force parameter.

    Try "delete partition override" instead of just "delete partition".

    no way! there is a protection of the acer and no command can eliminate them.

    I have never had an issue with them, and at the point you are at when booted into an install image there is no OS to get in the way.
