Acer Aspire One with 10 tech preview can't restore
Hello everyone. First time I've posted on a forum, and not exactly a newbie at this but I am seriously confused. I downloaded the win 10 preview a while back on my Acer Aspire netbook with Windows 8 upgraded to 8.1, to show some people what it is all about. Now, I would like to update to Windows 10 but cannot restore the netbook back to 8.1 to enable win 10 upgrade. I cannot access the hidden restore partition, if it still exists, and no amount of F2, F8, or F12 will get me anywhere. I did force the netbook to get me into system repair, and I was able to get to the restore options, but when I attempted restore to factory settings, it said files where missing, and to insert my recovery media to fix this. I have no media to use for this, and the only option it gave me was "cancel". I would really like to get this back to 8.1 so I can reserve and download 10. Help??
All help is appreciated, and I thank you all in advance.
