I have an Acer V3-731. Owner's nephew somehow put W-8 Enterprise on.
Received a complete set of Recovery CDs from Acer.
I want to do a complete recovery, no data.
First CD, "System" started and said needed UEFI
The BIOS is set
Security
Supervisor Password-Clear
Secure Boot Mode-Standard
(Only "Set Supervisor Password" is operable)
Boot
UEFI
Secure Boot disabled
Booting from the "System" CD, I get as far as "Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults"
Next window says "Please boot this Recovery Disc using Legacy BIOS"
When I change the Boot to Legacy, it tells me I can only use UEFI.:huh:
Is this something to do with the Enterprise on this PC?
