How do I re-install Windows

You should have recieved a "Factory Reset CD" with your laptop or desktop. Insert the CD, Turn off your computer and press F9 and select boot from CD. You would do the same if it was a straight Windows Operating System CD\DVD also. "Good Luck".

How to reset to factory settings like the day it came out of the factory?

Sometimes laptops are supplied with CD/DVD discs which perform this task when inserted in the CD/DVDROM drive and rebooted. If you don't have these then the closest you can get to a full factory system reset is by using the Windows System Restore feature. When you run this obviously choose the earliest system restore point. The third way will require you to obtain a windows operating system disk for your licensed OS, plus you will have to download the motherboard drivers from the laptop manufacturer website, installing these after running the OS disk from boot. Good Luck.

Factory reset

I think with acer u can use their erecovery management within windows /start/programs/Acer Recovery management/

or you can use the Alt+F10 or F11 at the start up some models vary and that hopefully should prompt u to reset the pc to factory settings, remember to back up you data, you might struggle with some drivers, and make sure you reinstall the security software that you prefer as soon as you are able to connect online. good luck hope this helps
