How to restore/ recover/ factory reset Acer Aspire Laptop. Hold ALT & F10 keys on boot.

[@MayMay-xx6wd]

I am actually shaking because my laptop doesn't want to turn on. Thank God you made this video sir, my laptop has been saved.

[@thevirginian5746]

It worked for me!!! I can't believe it! I haven't been able to get my laptop to work for almost 2 years at least. I was about to purchase a new laptop, then I came across this video. I figured I'd give it a try---what did I have to lose? Anyway, I held down the Alt & F10 keys as described, then I stepped away to grab a bite to eat. When I came back, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Windows login screen. After signing in, the desktop came up and all of my apps and files were still there! Everything was way out of date, of course, so I'm installing a lot of updates. I never thought I'd be able use that laptop again---thanks, Brandon!

Woooow

[@beebees_minis]

It's been more than 2 years now that my computer messed up on me. I still had a warranty but they kept giving me the run around. I just gave up and bought a new one. You just helped me to fix the old one. Thank you so much. This was really easy and a huge help to me.

[@crexton]

Had to do the Alt and tapping F10 for my Acer. But it worked. I tried 3 other ways people had on KZbin, they didn't work. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

[@Dawn43069]

Thank you! over a day of hell trying to fix my computer that failed during an update YOU saved me. Can't thank you enough. and I have watched hundreds of videos YOU ROCK.

Would definitely recommend this video if your ACER is working slow or is stuck in 2019, as my one was. You helped me reset my ACER computer and saved me a lot of money! Thanks again.

Turn on ur laptop normaly Find the “restart” button Hold the “shift” key and click on the restart button while still holding the “shift” key. Make sure that you’re holding the “shift” key before you click on the “restart” button. Keep holding it while the laptop is restating until you get to the troubleshoot screen. Thank me later

[@jerricaparrott165]

Thanks for your video! I've needed to fully clean my Cloudbook for over 4 years, finally decided to give it a try and your video was super easy to follow along with.

[@annal3155]

FYI ... this could take anywhere from 3 hours to 7 hours . I recommend do this before bed . Just set it up and when you see 1% that’s going to take long while . Make sure your laptop is plugged in the entire time .Go to bed wake up and continue with settings . Be patient but trust me this works !! I just did it !

What do I if the trouble shoot menu screen isn’t coming up?

[@pigeontits3837]

Samantha Gonzales im having same issue

[@samanthagonzales255]

I figured it out. On my laptop it shows up a different way. When you are at the password page on the bottom right hand side there is a power button when you put the mouse over it, it will say Restart shut down Before you hit restart button press the shift key button on the “right side” of the key board (the one under the enter key) and hold hit then click the restart on the screen while still holding the shift button. Keep holding the shift button until the screen turns back on. When it turns on the trouble shoot screen should come up. Then follow the rest of the videos instructions Hope this helps you out.

It just keeps loading to the usual starting screen and screaming at me when I hold the keys and continues when I take my fingers off the keys. It only stops the beep after about 10 seconds of the shrill noise and I’m unsure how to proceed. None of the new screens come up like the ones in the video...
