Solved Recovery Discs

[rikstaparr]

Hi

Here I am again......!!! I have a set of Acer Factory Restore discs I made on my Acer Aspire 2930z.

Can I use these on any Acer Laptop?

Hello rikstaparr and welcome to the forums

I'm not 100% sure on this because it seems to vary between manufacturers, but it appears that it isn't possible unless it is exactly the same model of computer. Are they the same models?

No, they are not the same models....

Does one of the Disks contain any Drivers for the Laptop? If so then I wouldn't recommend using it on another Acer Laptop

If one of them is an OS Recovery Disk then I would use it but only at your own risk

Hope This Helps,
Josh

Hello Rikstaparr,

Sorry, but you will not be able to use it on another computer. A OEM factory restore disc is specific to that model and can only be activated on the computer it was first activated on.
