Recovery; Creating A Factory Default Backup - Acer Predator Helios 500 User Manual

22 - Recovery

If you are having trouble with your computer, and the
frequently asked questions (see Got a question? on
page 68) do not help, you can recover your computer.
This section describes the recovery tools available on your
computer. Acer provides Acer Care Center, which allows you
to reset your PC, refresh your PC, or create a factory
default backup. If you cannot access Acer Care Center, click
Settings in the Start menu, select Update & Security and
then click Recovery.
Note
Acer Care Center vary depending on model or Operating System.
Important
We recommend that you create a Factory Default Backup as
soon as possible. In certain situations a full recovery will require
a USB recovery backup.

Creating a factory default backup

Recovery Management allows you to quickly and easily back
up your operating system, installed apps and data.
Note
Since the recovery backup requires at least 8 GB of storage after
formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity
of 16 GB or larger.
1. From Start, select Acer then Acer Recovery Management.
