I was attempting to reset/reinstall Win 10 but the computer hung at 1%. After 18 hours, I powered it off. Now it will not boot past the Acer splash screen. Hitting the left ALT and F10 when the splash screen appears has no effect.
I reset the boot order to USB HDD and inserted the USB restore key with Win 8 i made when I got the computer but the key is not recognized. I reset the boot order to ATAPI CD ROM and tried both a Ubuntu Live Disk and an old Microsoft XP Pro systems media CD. Neither are recognized.
So now all I can do is watch the Acer splash screen cycle over and over. How to fix?
