Acer Aspire One Operating System Issues
Hello,
I have and Acer Aspire One that has a big problem. This is my 12 year old daughter's computer. She got it for Christmas in 2011. By June 2012 it was really slow and bogged down due to cookies and any other number of things she had going on. A friend was over and tried to do a system restore to get it back to factory settings. In the middle of the restore the computer shut off because the battery died. Our luck that it wasn't plugged in. When you turn it on now it just goes to a black screen and does nothing. I have taken it to box stores with so called technical support and was told that we had to get a new operating system. I don't want to pay more for an operating system than the computer itself. So I just went to purchase another one. As I was putting it in lay-a-way the check out guy said that I could just down load a free operating system and install it. That I could use the product key that is on the computer already. I get by with computers but don't know where I could find it to download and make sure I got the right one and that I was doing it right. It seems like something I could do with just a little guidance. I know that it came with Windows 7 Starter.
Any help that you could give me would be very appreciated.
If you need more from me let me know and I will try my best to get you the info.
Thanks!!!
