    Hey guys. My Father has given me his Acer Aspire 5315. It is full of stuff i dont even need. It is quite slow aswell. I was just wondering is there a way i can delete all programs but keep Windows. I would like it so it exactly how it was in it came out of the box with all drivers installed. I only want to do this because i dont have a Windows Vista Disc or any Driver's for the laptop.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Many Thanks.

    You can roll it back to Factory defaults, and then remove all Acer-applications from the removal manager.

    Acers computer are filled with crapware, and there is only solution: Delete them all.

    Laptops at standard version , are famous for just that ..

    Thats why we pay money , upgrading the hard drive with better larger faster .

    By deleting files , there is no gain .

    Add faster CPU , Hard drive , memory ,
    then and only then , you will see some REAL improvement .

    Thanks for your feedback guys. I have found a really good solution. You just hold Alt+F10 at Acer screen and you can restore factory settings. Then you just uninstall everything that you dont want.

    Thanks anyway.
