I have never posted on a forum tho i read and educate myself from them all the time. However i really would like to get this process below correct because i dont want to corrupt any hardware from bad drivers.
I purchased an ACER ASPIRE V5-571P and have had nothing but issues with windows 8. I have restored the computer once using acer recovery media but there are still partitions from previous install and i have no access to the original factory recovery partition either. Id like to know how to fully reformat the entire disk and restore the recovery media back to 8.0 with the correct manufacturer drivers and then reinstall my purchased 8.0 pro upgrade without losing my drivers from acer... lastly then continue to and upgrade to the 8.1 Pro finally. As of now when i upgraded to 8.0 pro it deleted all my OEM ACER drivers and factory programs and now windows has replaced with best effort drivers and i dont know what drives should be there and what are incorrect at this point.
