How to Know What Partition Has the Recovery Files on an Acer Desktop
Most Acer desktops with Windows installed come standard with recovery partitions built into the hard drive. But if you are not familiar with the inner workings of your computer, finding the recovery files on the partitions may be difficult. No computer experience is required to locate the correct recovery partition and find the recovery files. A recovery will wipe all files and folders, so be careful before you use it and back up your data.
