So I have an old laptop (well it's pretty new, but haven't used it in a while since getting a new one a few months ago)

I've installed so much crap on this thing I don't even want to use it without restoring the whole thing to a fresh version of windows. When I tried to do the acer system restore it could only use a restore point dating back 3 months...

But I need it to go back like 2 years!

Is there an easy way to do this without getting a win7 iso? If not, can someone plz link me to a trusted copy of win7

Thanks in advance!

You shouldn't use a "System Restore", but a "Factory Restore/Reset".
What is that Acer laptop model ? Will be WAY easier to do a Factory Restore/Reset than installing a fresh, new installation of Windows 7.

Also, I can confirm that the .iso in the link above are legitimate. They are official Windows 7 .iso, clean and genuine released by Microsoft.

I can't seem to find a 'factory restore' option anywhere! grrr. I did it on my buddies laptop like 3 days ago. He has an acer too... Weird that I can't find the option on this latpop
It's a Acer Aspire 7750G-6662

The only 2 options i see is:
1. Use a system image you created earlier to recover your computer
2. Reinstall Windows (requires Windows installation disc)

You can use the reinstall Windows option by burning the .iso of your current Windows edition on a DVD and using it. Download the right .iso from the link posted above.

I got the factory restore to work!

Unlike my friends acer my options to set it back to the factory reset is only shown if I hit Alt + F10 on startup.
I was trying to push 0 before and it only let me try to restore it from a saved image copy dating up to 3 months back.

All good now

Yeah Aspire models requires that manipulation in order to enter in Factory Restore mode. Let me know if the operation completes successfully.

Don't forget to update your graphic card drivers and install your basic programs.
Feel free to close this thread if the issue is solved as it'll most likely gets spammed.
