I am having Acer Aspire one laptop and I want to restore my system to factory settings. From the above given solution when I rebooted the system and pressed the ALT and F10 key it doesn’t works. I think that ALT and F10 key has been disabled in my Acer system. is there any solution to activate ALT +F10 key so that I can restore my system to factory settings?

You can use ALT and F10 key to restore your Acer aspire one to default factory settings but if the ALT and F10 is not activated then you can follow the steps given below to activate it.

1. There are two files on the disk named as “mbrwrwin.exe” and “rtmbr.bin”.
2. You need to copy these two files on the C drive.
3. Open the command prompt and type the names of these two files and hit the enter key.
4. The ALT and F10 key will be activated.

Havent you removed the virus till yet? Download a antivirus software called Malwarebytes and install it on your acer. Just scan with it your acer laptop and then try again to start the erecovery again and check if its working or not.
