    Data: Backup before sending. It is the standard process for service centers to restore drive to factory - wipes all data. If drive is at fault, it is dumped and a new one put in place (in this case, data is susceptible; service centers generally subcontract to third parties to purge the drives).

    Windows 10 key: Don't bother about this. If at all Windows comes back and says windows needs to be activated, just call up Microsoft and they'll validate based on other hardware. But you won't even need to worry about this, service centers handle this case well when they restore to factory.

    Good Morning ajax97 !

    Will it be replaced on the Acer stand?
    If so, the new card will have a new license embargoed.
    The data, on the other hand, are usually completely erased.
    So it must be backed up before sending.

    It is being replaced under warranty by acer.
    So the data and windows currently in my drive will be erased ?

    The default is to always reinstall the OEM system and remove everything, as Acer is not responsible for private user data.

    Service center engineers messed up my motherboard.... today again they messed up the new one. They said that they will ask acer for System Exchange . Is it possible with acer?
