Acer Nitro 5 Install Windows

[Charlesetta Blare]

Iam trying to dual boot windows 10 and ubuntu in new acer nitro 5. However, during installation I was redirected by ubuntu installer to change the storage controller protocol from RST to Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI). However, After changing this setting, Windows is unable to boot properly. To resolve it, I need to change some registry in windows OS as per Ubuntu help. However, upon restarting the windows, all the registry changes are reverting back to default values (Ubuntu is still not installed). This is more technical stuff than I have knowledge. Can anyone help me with this registry changes?

I want to move away from windows since Microsoft adds memes like Cortana and this. A So far trying to dual boot win10 and manjaro has been a pain to do, not gonna lie. I made a 90 GB empty partition in win10 before trying to install manjaro.

And this is where I am now. only win10 with no dual boot. I want to try again but I wanna know the steps i need to take so that it doesnt lead to the bios becoming unaccessible or being unable to boot into manjaro.

i do manual partitioning because i dont want manjaro to take up half my disk since i plan to use manjaro for general things like browsing stuff and not gaming so giving it a 80-90 gb partition will do.

sorry didnt read carefully. i didnt know you can allocate storage for the manjaro install through the install alongside windows option. all the manjaro dual boot tutorials i watched went through the manual partitioning option.

so i plugged in my usb and opened my boot menu to get into the usb but i noticed that there was a boot entry from my previous attempt at installing manjaro. it was a efi boot file that i named yes. booting into the file just brings be back to windows since i guess it doesnt detect the file anymore and goes to top boot priority which is windows. I booted into my ventoy usb, launched manjaro and ran efibootmgr -v in the terminal. Here is the result. is it ok to delete the boot entry?

ive deleted the ESP and the root and home partitions. i tried deleting the boot entry by booting into manjaro usb, opening terminal and running efibootmgr -b 0002 -b (0002 is the entry for the boot efi file). after running the cmd, i saw that the boot entry was gone when it showed the updated list of boot options but when i went back into bios and boot menu it was still there. I went through the select file as trusted boot option but didnt find anything relating to linux or manjaro except for my usb. removing the usb didnt do anything since the entry for the efi file remained.

I bought an Acer laptop in Germany and during setup it only offered German, so I was forced to go through setup in German. But once Windows properly started, I went into settings-language and changed it to English in all the places it's possible to do so. After some restarts and then deleting the German language, it should now be fully English. Most things are in English, but not everything. I'd say it's maybe 95% English. For example, if I click restart, the restarting message comes up in German. If I choose to restart in Safe Mode, the entire safe mode experience is in German. Here's a screenshot of another example. I was installing Firefox from the English FF installer. It got an error with the visual C run time dll and the error came up in German. I deliberately showed my language settings in the background and moved the dll error over it so it's clear to see that everything is set to English.

By the way, after having added English as another language, I tried going to Reset PC and went through that process and I was offered English as an initial setup language. Now that gave me more English, perhaps 98% but the install was bad - I couldn't open Settings any more. It would just crash on load. Tons of tips out there on how to fix Settings crashing on Windows 11 but none of them worked. So I was forced to re-install in German and then switch to English which is where I'm at now.

Thanks ze sk, that worked perfectly. I now see in English on restarting and on the welcome screen. I won't know about system errors until one happens, but they're pretty rare anyway. I would vote this as the answer but it seems like you can't vote a comment as the answer.

I had a simular problem. We are a swedish buisness with some empleyees in Germany. So they came to us with their computers and we had to install them in swedish so we could understand what we were doing, and as a last thing to do before handing over the devices was to change the language. But yeah, only like 85% was done and all applications that we installed before language changed had to be re-installed.

What Adiministrative language settings shows? (this should run intl.cpl)

i.e. the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" settings

if all don't say English United States, then check the boxes to copy your current settings

What I'm trying to achieve here is for Microsoft to acknowledge/accept that their process for switching languages is incomplete. There are thousands of threads findable by Google of people reporting this but it's not being fixed. A clean install is hardly a realistic suggestion - it's a big inconvenience, especially if you've gone to the trouble of installing and configuring a lot of applications already.

You can only install in any language when the installation procedure offers you that opportunity. With a full multi-language iso file, that's true. With a manufacturer customized pre-install from a foreign country, that isn't always an option. The initial setup did NOT offer anything other than German. My first attempt involved completing the setup in German, adding English, seeing that it was only 95% English and finding the Reset PC feature and trying again. At THAT point, it DID offer me English (because I'd added it) and following that setup it did give me an English install. The trouble was that the settings would always crash on open. This is also an issue reported thousands of times (google "windows 11 settings crash" and you'll see them all. There are about 5 ways people suggest to fix it, none of them worked.

So I figured a 95% English/5% German installation that was working was better than a 100% English installation that had broken settings so I did my third Windows install in German and added English and removed German to get me to where I am now.

I just want to report it so that maybe one day it'll be fixed. Changing language should change language 100%, otherwise display the option as "change most of the language but not everything - yes/no".

Thanks, but most of those are Windows 10 links. The Windows 11 ones are not really helpful. They just tell me how to do what I already did. I know I could download a full English ISO of Windows 11 and install from that but then I'd not have any of the drivers/tools that came with the laptop from the manufacturer.

I'm really looking for Microsoft to accept that when you change a language, it's not doing it completely. It's missing some key features that are left in the original language. A fix tool and eventual Windows Update that catches them all would be what's needed.

Have you reset BIOS?

Boot and look in BIOS to see if drive is detected. If not, there may be other issues at play.

If drive for your install is visible it could be issue as suggested above by Wyrm 1972, or use a Rufus install USB.

Have tried a few more things.

Rufus still has the same issue, will load the windows install screen but no hard drive is found for the install.

In bios I can see the sata ssd drive but still can't see it as an option to install (Shift 10 diskpart list disk still only shows the boot usb)

Some newer laptops are using a slightly different storage chipset and the Windows installer doesn't have a driver for it. You need to download the storage driver from Acer for that laptop model (or Intel/AMD for the chipset) and extract it onto USB storage. You can actually put it in a new folder on the installer USB.

Try another slot. Not the cpu slot as they often don't work if not 11th gen (on Gigabyte boards anyway). Ensure any drives are 'raw' to start. Had an issue with similar thing and only way around it was to format and turn into raw. Still no idea why.

Not sure why they do this (mobo makers) as the 10th gen cpu is fine for everything including Optane, just doesn't work as the 11th gen makes use of all the PCIE lanes and the 10th is limited by one lane (I think) less.

Probably more of it being in the wrong lane but I used AHCI, UEFI with CSM (legacy support) as I was coming from another system and reusing drive as it was. Took a while to figure out how to get things to boot, especially coming from a system circa 2007.

So i have a AMD R7 265 Gpu and it used to work finw before but now when i install drivers it gives me a black screen and when i restart theres no drivers installed, I tried updating windows, checking PCI connection but nothing helps

My black screen problems started during April of this year. Any fix I did on my system was temporary. Every time there was a Windows update or a AMD driver update, the problem got worse. The only solution in the end was to use a different brand of graphics card.
