Need formatting tool for 10 Install
I've got a brand new Acer R3-131T for upgrade.
Got it from a customer, a Walmart item.
At first glance, I thought a mistake was made since I've never seen a PC shipped with a 32GB HDD since before Windows 3.1.
Anyway, I couldn't do the Upgrade because of lack of space.
Acer support told me to
create a Factory Default Backup (Did this to a USB)
When creating, click "No" to deleting the Recovery Partition.
After creating, use a third party application and format the HD. (This is where I need help. A usb bootable to be able to format the drive}
Use Recovery media and reload
Install all updates. After updates are done, you will get the option to install the upgrade.
Unless someone has an easier way.
BTW, looking at less then $200 laptops in BestBuy, found a bunch with the 32GB HDD.
