You can do a factory reset so its just like you bought it from new.So it will have Vista on it ,same as how you bought it.
Put into Google Acer Aspire and model number + factory reset and it will tell you how to do it .I think its ALT+ F10 before Windows starts up but check on Google first.0 -
If you do not plan to reuse your copy of windows 7, then wipe the drive sand do a fresh install of Win7. You should get more money for a machine with win 7 than vista.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -

Then almost certainly it's an illegal copy, restore back to vista.0 -
