1st problem, you got an Acer.

Solution: Sell it.

Jokes aside, try using pcdecrapifier and ccleaner.

If you can, put an ssd in there and make it your boot drive, but you likely can't since you most likely have flash memory and not a physical hard drive.

I have a physical hard drive but it is windows 10 it is failing to run

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yes it is brand new

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It dosn't say if it can run windows 7 or any windows

If Acer has drivers for Windows 7 for your model and you have a license for it then yes.
What are you specs? Did you buy it new?

Use another pc to download a windows 10 iso or use Microsofts windows 10 creation tool to make a bootable USB or disc. Continue from there to install windows 10.

Hey, at least it wasn't a Dell or Compaq. Then I could really see why it'd be so slow. Failing that, he can install Windows 7 or 8.1 on it.

Hmm, I worked in a call center for Dell tech support, Dell laptops have a high rate of failure.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

I'm guessing you have a 5400rpm drive, which is what my Acer had. Those things are absolutely intolerable

HP is slightly better. Lenovo, Asus, etc are superior to Dell.

I'm talking about their laptops, mostly, not the best lifespan.

That doesn't explain the quality of a brand. Just because you had 100 phone calls for complain a day, it doesn't mean Dell is bad. Let's assume if the sales number is around 10k. That would be 1 percent of the total sales number. Additionally, sometimes you might find the problem is between the steering wheel and the driver seat aka the user.

You need more data such as sales number and failures number to make a comparison. Though, I know someone who had two Dell laptops with broken BIOS because of Windows 10 upgrade and Dell refused to fix those laptops. Again, though, I blame it on Windows 10 because it also broke my friend's ASUS laptop BIOS.

@OP what type of laptop do you have? Any model number? From your description, assuming that 32 GB is the hard drive, your laptop is probably an atom based laptop. It is designed to be portable, not fast and you probably cannot upgrade the hard drive except using sd cards. Probably, the best way to fix your problem is buying a proper laptop for your needs.

Hey guys, discussing which brand is best doesn't help the OP. Leave that discussion for another thread ok?

Can we get a model number for it? Would like a list of specs.

If it's 32GB chances are it's some sort of flash based storage.

My best guess is that it's some low end model that won't run worth a damn no matter what you do. Unless you installed some sort of low profile Linux. zzzzzz

NO. Don't get CCleaner. It will either do nothing at all, or it will completely mess up your system. More info about how bad it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3y84al/can_someone_explain_why_ccleaner_has_gotten_such/
