Hello when your computer is loading up press and hold 'f8' this should take you to a screen that says 'repair my computer' once there select that and it will take you another screen, there you want to choose the bottom option, it will be something like 'factory image'. Good luck.
look for Acer eRecovery Management in your Start menu or Control Panel.
Here's what your laptop manual says about recovery.
Note: If your computer did not come with a Recovery CD or
System CD, please use Acer eRecovery Management's "System
backup to optical disc" feature to burn a backup image to CD or
DVD. To ensure the best results when recovering your system
using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals
