Fresh installation of Windows 10
I have an Acer R7 laptop with Windows 10 installed. Originally the computer had Win 8 on it and Windows 10 installed on the computer without my consent. Ever since then, it's been just a little "off". For example, I can not shut it down with the Start button. It will only go into sleep mode. IF I hold the off/on button down, it will do a hard shutdown.
The Win 10 was a free upgrade. I'm thinking I might want to do a fresh install, but wondering about the ability to reload since I didn't pay for Win 10. I've seen a few posts about how to reinstall Win 10, but am a bit leery of ending up with a "brick".
Anyone know if this configuration of laptop can be reinstalled with a fresh copy of Win 10. I understand that I will first have to back up all my important files.
