Upgrade Acer Laptop Ram
Amabella Batton
But, I can boot with legacy boot mode, not UEFI. So, I think my UEFI firmware has some problem and I want to upgrade my UEFI. So, I download correct BIOS for my laptop from acer website and it contains only one executable file.
Following on from the previous answer, my *.exe file was called "VA410218.exe" and extracted to "Users//AppData/Local/Temp/7z????.tmp" directory and contained the files (Which as stated will probably get erased when the cmd window closes .. so keep it open) and copy them to somewhere useful. .
I flash bios in my acer 5560g with dead 0% battery from antisms win8 pe livecd.I cant flash bios from dos, because my battery lvl is there -6999%.But in livecd it be 23%. I run win bios .exe in a few minutes later and lvl battery is 25%. I waited about 20 minutes, until the charge was 30 and safely flash bios on my notebook.I hope that my decision can help someone.
3.Navigate to your current users temp directory %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp, there should be somewhere a temporary directory containing the extracted files from the EXE file (for me it was 7zS4A88.tmp)
Users may have different reasons for considering a RAM upgrade. Avid gamers may bump up the RAM on their Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop for the smoothest gameplay possible. Students with an Aspire 5 or Aspire Vero Green Laptop may require additional speed if they have more complex computing tasks like programming or graphic design. Perhaps you simply want a streamlined browsing and streaming experience on your Acer device. This guide will walk you through the process of upgrading RAM on your Acer laptop, from compatibility checks to safe installation steps.
Hold the new RAM module by its edges and align its notches with those on the RAM compartment. Insert the RAM module at an angle until the clips on either side click into place. Make sure the module is level and securely seated.

I'm using an Acer Aspire ES1-533 laptop. I already have Ubuntu 18.04 installed and I'm really happy with the OS. Installing 18.04 was a nightmare, but I was able to do it by following this guide _installing_ubuntu_on_acer_aspire_es15/
However trying to install 20.04 or 22.04 has proven to be impossible. I have already tried the recommendations in this thread Problems installing Ubuntu on Acer laptop to no avail. Could you guys help me please? I'm very new to Linux, but Ubuntu 18.04 isn't supported anymore and I'd like to keep using it. Many thanks in advance.
My Acer Aspire E1-571G Laptop came with an Intel i3 CPU, 4Gb of DDR3 RAM and a 500Gb Hard Disk Drive, as well as a 1Gb mobile nVidia GeForce GT 620M GPU. However, I wanted to upgrade the laptop since it is a few years old and it can use a few faster components. For this, I decided to add another 4Gb Hynix DDR3 Matched RAM module, install a Second HDD caddy and move the 500Gb HDD to where the DVD drive slot is and install an ADATA SU700 240Gb SSD Drive.
The first step is to make sure the laptop is powered off, unplug the power supply and remove the battery. The first screw I remove is the screw that holds in the DVD Writer. For this you need a Philips screw driver. Once the screw is removed, it is easy to slide out the DVD writer unit and set it aside.
I then remove the lower panel that covers the Hard Disk Drive, RAM and wireless card. This panel has two Philips screws holding it down. With the screws removed, you can use a plastic spudger or other soft material to pry the cover open. And then simply remove it with your hands.
For the RAM upgrade, I made sure I bought the same type of RAM so that it would match perfectly. In my case, this was a 4Gb module of Hynix DDR3 RAM. The bottom RAM module has to be inserted first before inserting the second module on top.
With the RAM inserted, I proceeded to remove the Hard Disk Drive.
This is easily achieved by pulling on the plastic tab to the left and sliding the hard disk caddy out. The drive is held by 4 Philips screws which are removed. Once the disk is removed, I set it aside and got ready to install my SSD Drive
For this project, I chose this 240Gb ADATA SU700 Ultimate SSD drive. I screwed it in using the same screws that held the hard drive. The SSD was then inserted into the disk slot in the reverse fashion by sliding it to the right. With that complete, I put back the plastic protection cover.
In order to remove the front bezel panel from the DVD Drive, you need to open the drive. You can try inserting a needle or paper clip in the release hole besides the open button. Alternatively, you can open the drive while the laptop is turned on before turning it off with the drive open. The bezel panel is held in two places, on the left and right. These clips were opened using a flat screwdriver.
I then took out a second SATA hard disk caddy which will go in the
DVD drives place. The DVD bezel panel was then stuck to the second hdd caddy. It comes with a built in small philips screwdriver which also acts to hold down the hard disl. I put in the original hard disk and unscrewed the side screws so it would slide in. I then tightened the screws in reverse so that they will hold the hard disk.
From the DVD Drive, there is a clip which holds it in the laptop case that must be removed. It is on the back of the DVD Drive and is removed by the two screws. This clip is then screwed in to the second HDD caddy and the caddy is slid into the old DVD Drive slot. I then screwed down the hdd caddy with the original screw which once held the DVD drive in place

"I have an old Acer Aspire laptop with a 256GB hard disk. Now, I have bought a new SSD, and I want to upgrade the hard drive to it. I am wondering if anyone else is familiar with how to switch Acer hard drive to a new SSD? Any help would be greatly appreciated!"
Most Acer laptops, especially Aspire series are configured with Hard Disk Drive (HDD) in default, like Acer Aspire One brings 120GB HDD, and Aspire V5/R3 brings 500GB HDD. If your computer is an older model or if it lags or freezes, upgrading it to an SSD is entirely necessary.
As is known to all, compared with traditional HDD, the SSD has faster reading and writing speed, less power consumption, noise-free operation, shock resistance, portable size, etc. Many PC users would like to upgrade HDD to SSD or SSD to larger SSD to improve the computer running performance, so as to Acer laptop users. Based on this need, we prepare this article to teach you to upgrade the Acer Aspire laptop to SSD easily and correctly. Follow the instructions below, and you can make it done.
The whole process can be divided into two parts: the first is to clone the files on the old HDD to the new SSD with a data backup and clone tool like EaseUS Todo Backup here; then the second is to replace the internal hard drive.
Step 5. Click "Backup Now", after the backup process is completed, you can right-click any one of the tasks to further manage your backup such as recover it, create an incremental backup, etc.
The Acer Aspire E 15 is a budget laptop that's a bit of a throwback to laptops of days gone by. It's thick, it has an optical drive, and it has plenty of legacy ports for connecting your aging hardware. Although it has many features that are going extinct, it also has an eighth-generation Intel Core processor (CPU), 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), and an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics card (GPU).
Part of this laptop's charm is how easy it is to upgrade the RAM and storage. You undo three screws, pull off the cover, and slip in some new hardware. Despite the simplicity, is it really worth buying more RAM?
NVIDIA's GeForce MX150 discrete GPU is an update to the aging GeForce 940MX, bringing slightly better performance. Still, the MX150 sits considerably lower than an NVIDIA GTX 1050 when comparing performance.
It isn't going to set any records, and it certainly will not power a solid VR experience, but the MX150 can still keep up with a lot of popular modern games, if not allowing you to play them at max settings.
While a lot of high-end gaming PCs employ 16GB or more RAM, adding to the 8GB in the Aspire E 15 isn't going to turn it into a killer gaming rig. Its gaming performance is tied more heavily to the MX150 than anything else. Likewise, if you're interested in video or photo editing, adding RAM will only get you so far. The GPU will be the biggest problem.
The Aspire E 15 has space for two sticks of DDR3L SODIMM RAM, with one 8GB stick coming already installed from the factory. If you have an extra bit of compatible RAM lying around, adding to the Aspire E 15 is at least worth a try. The entire process shouldn't take more than five minutes, and if performance doesn't noticeably improve, you can always remove it.
