I had the same experience as you. Windows 8 took a couple of hours to upgrade install and then while i was selecting a desktop color scheme, it failed and rolled back to Windows 7. I had backed up my data so I chose a clean install the second time. Completed in less than 30 minutes with no problems. It actually did not destroy my data during the clean install as I expected but put it in a windows.old directory. There are a couple of lingering after problems. Graphics performance is much slower, downright sluggish at times, under Windows 8 even with the Catalyst driver. Also, CPU fan cutting on and off much more than before and power management not working right as laptop cuts off spontaneously long before battery is depleted. Not sure Win 8 is good for an Acer Aspire 5532 but it is much faster and boot time is significantly reduced.

Hello you can test here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8

If the pc is compatible to run windows 8.

If it fails, the pc is not capeable to run windows 8.

Here is no drivers for windows 8, at the support site:

http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=1290

The solution is to continue useing windows 7, or buy a new pc with windows 8 installed.

Good luck

The windows files are corrupted or the hard drive has issues, load cd installation disc if available, if that fails have the hardware checked for possible replacement.

Dell xps one a2010 wont boot up after windows 7 upgrade

You can just reload the program and Windows at one point will ask if you want to repair or re-install. You may need to reload the original program 1st, then load Windows 7 for the upgrade to work.

Upgrades read the computer to identify what was previously loaded to qualify the new program. So if it's a Vista to Win7, if Vista wasn't loaded first on the upgrade if you replaced the hard drive in some cases, it doesn't always take properly.

Good luck!

How do i use my webcam on acer 5532

You don't have a web-cam on your Acer Aspire 5532. Sorry, I actually bought a brand new Acer Aspire 5532 with Windows 7. It's really nice but that little black circle at the top of your screen is not a camera. I do believe you can have one installed though.

Good luck,
