FAQ & Answers
Hello please I have been seeking an answer for a while
I have Acer one 10 notebook s1002 or «N15P2 as it is written on the back of it» I did delete everything including the recovery and installed Linux on it for a while.
I decided to go back to win10 because it was more productive on it but I am unable
I got the win10 32bit and I made a bootable USB using Rufus, when I start the win10 installation everything looks fine but when it comes to chose the storage device to install win10 on the win10 setup can’t find any storage device on my Acer, though my live USB Linux still able to see the storage and i still can reinstall Kali Linux normally on the current GPT partition and UEFI boot but win 10 can’t see any still
i tried:
converting MBR,
Disabling UEFI which won’t work because the bios have no other choice
I tried my WIn10 32 ISO
I even send Acer a couple of emails but I got no answer
I googled the issue and what I got is that this Acer storage device is Emmc so it is like builtin sd card, and the only way to install win10 is to flash it which I have no clue how to do and Google has no answer, or get the recovery and I have no recovery USB and also can’t find it only though I tried to download it from Acer site but the site is asking for a SNID and I have none on my notebook
Help please I need my win 10 back I am an IT but this is a totally weird issue never happened to me on any device before I literally hit a dead end

My guess is that Linux converted your drive to an Ext 2/3/4, UFS2, HFS or ReiserFS/4 partition which Windows cannot read. With a recovery disk or partition you could use DISKPART to fix it but since you wiped everything apparently without making backups you will need to either buy recovery media from Acer, find a recovery disk, or if you can still boot Linux there should be third party software to convert the drive to NTFS..

Did you ever get this resolved? FlDid the S1002 have a Licensed copy of Windows 10 before? If so, find the Windows 10 options for making a bootable USB. Install Windows 10. When you get the option to use a dr8ve, DELETE the Linux partitions and format a new NTFS partition. Wind9ws will automatically create the other necessary partitions. (32 Bit will be better than 64 bit because you only have 2GB RAM.) And when it asks for your product key, say that you don’t have one and Windows 10 will automatically reregister because MS knows your machine. If, for some reason you can’t delete the Linux partitions, you CAN still do it in you Linux bootable flash. Try fdisk or cfdisk on the command line. Or GPartEd too, depending on the distro.

Go through the steps you have taken in the BIOS to allow for booting from a foreign flash drive. Maybe even take pictures of each BIOS screen so we can make sure they’re all done correctly.
Use the micro USB on the side of the tablet not the USB port on the dock this will require a micro USB to USB adapter.
I have been using my Acer One 10 S1003 with Fedora 34, able to use touchscreen with no extra works, and wifi card with some workarounds. Fedora comes with UEFI 32 bit file and could be installed almost easily.
However my camera and bluetooth do not work at all. And even the audio sometimes works and sometimes not; it does not work at all with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
I tried many Linux Distro’s and not many come with UEFI file for 32bit. and some would not boot at all.
I use to have Ubuntu working for some months, it is even a bit faster than Fedora, wifi card is detected with not workaround, although touchscreen, camera and bluetooth do not work.
As teacher, we do not have pc’s available from the schools and I need to teach Linux to students and so am using my own money (not much) for this. So, I thought and hoped that this computer could be of help, but unfortunately it does not.
I have been trying to install Raspberry Pi OS for PCS since I have seen this your post, though when it boots with the live USB key it does not detect the wifi card. Any help for this?

Sparky comes with florence on screen keyboard but i prefer onboard and installed it in synaptic easily

I recently bought a used Acer One 10, looking to use it mainly for embedded c++ and circuitpython stuff.
I checked that it is an Intel Atom Z3735F x64 quad-core processor based machine.
What I had not expected was that the factory OEM Windows installation was 32-bit
Also the UEFI was locked and there appears to be no way to use legacy mode (I’d love to be proved wrong, feel free to correct me)
the BIOS appears to be v1.10 from American Megatrends Inc.
I was trying to get it to boot Linux but so far my attempts have been futile.
On online forums, certain people did mention using a «boota32.efi» file in the EFI/BOOT folder to get it running x64 version of Linux distros but so far I could only get it to boot GRUB 2.0 on Ubuntu (not any further, even after editing the grub entry and replacing the «splash» with «video=VGA. «)
and on trying the same thing with fedora gives boot error and the «minimal BASH like line editing is. » screen
However, trying the same with android-x86 N7.1.2 x64 resulted in a full boot, albeit with many commonly noted issues like brightness control gone and sound.
but the touchscreen didn’t work, probably due to lack of touchscreen drivers
can anybody please point me to a guide or tutorial (or post the required steps here) to getting any Linux distro running on this machine
Happy to report that I have made even more progress on the install on Acer one 10 S1002
FEDORA LINUX installs with ease and no special instructions
Everything I tested is working
Audio is even working well
As I previously said my keyboard dock is NOT functional it is working completely in tablet mode
Have not tested Bluetooth yet for the record but suspect it works
Have not tested screen rotation yet as my desktop of choice (LXQT) does not support this feature
Only hiccup was getting the repository software working well and finding repositories with the software I wanted
This was solved by disabling dnfdragora-updater in session-settings > autostart
It was causing conflicts running on startup and can still be manually run anytime
As for repositories simple google or duckduckgo search «dnf install softwarename» helped me find repos
I have a VERY functional tablet now running GREAT
