backup. The recovery backup includes the entire original contents of
your computer’s hard drive, including Windows and all factory-loaded
software and drivers. Using this backup will restore your computer to
the same state as when you purchased it, while giving you an option
to retain all settings and personal data.

Acer Recovery Management is only available with a pre-installed Windows
operating system.
Important
We recommend that you create a Recovery Backup and Drivers and
Applications Backup and as soon as possible.
In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery backup.

GB of storage after formatting,
it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity of 32
GB or larger.
