FAQ & Answers

• Miklet,

  As a new owner of an ATC-780 (a UR61) I appreciate your sharing information. I hope I can add some useful observations sometime soon.

  I have some questions regarding the BIOS update:

  1) Is there a particular reason you decided to update?

  I've always heard, regarding the BIOS: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Perhaps you or someone else could enlighten me here. I've gone through a number of computers but never updated a BIOS.

  2) Where did you find the instructions you spoke of? Were they downloaded with the update? (Couldn't find 'support/BIOS page')

  and,

  3) Do you know the reason for the 'Restore Defaults' step? Was some setting changed during the update?

  Thanks for taking the time to post about your upgrade -- good luck with it! And thanks to you or anyone who has information about updating a BIOS.

• It is risky to change BIOS

  I take many risks when it comes to computers in my home. Pretty sure I did not 'need' this BIOS update. But, I personnally enjoy maintaining my equipment..zealously.

  If a computer is working fine for a given user and all attached devices are working well, the BIOS update is likely a meaningless risk for some users to take.

  I was afraid to try the UEFI path -TOO RISKY for even me, hah!

  I was not afraid to use the WINFLASH tool. So I downloaded that first.

  To gain access to these files, programs, updates and such, I had to register at Acer and registering the PC may also have helped. Once registered, go to Acer support page, put in your SNID or S/N (from the sticker on the side of the machine)

• Step for restore defaults is precautionary, to ensure the user has not changed a setting while looking around.

  If a user had perhaps changed the Boot Order to have the USB go first at startup, reset would put the HDD first again.

  The other perspective is this

  I do mess around in the BIOS, trying setting and performing tasks, mostly Booting from CD/DVD or USB's.

  When I select reset to defaults, (in my instance) I return to certain tabs in the BIOS to make just the changes I want in place, then SAVE and EXIT.

  Last thoughts, If you are not in need to changing the BIOS for a performance reason, a person might just want to read about the reason for the BIOS update, maybe save the BIOS file to a storage spot, and do nothing else.

• Good information, miklet. Thanks much. Your practice of using 'restore defaults' as a routine precaution against accidental BIOS changes seems like a wise one.

  Ensure correct spelling and spacing - Examples: 'paper jam'. For HP products a product number. Tips for better search results. Use product model name: - Examples: laserjet pro p1102, DeskJet 2130. Hp laserjet m1213nf mfp fax user manual.

  I was curious partly because in another post you had mentioned adding a SSD; and I had noticed that one of the BIOS 'fixes' had something to do with long SSD file names causing a problem (or something similar). So wondered if you'd encountered an issue.

  I'll probably be skipping the BIOS update for the time being.

  Thanks again!

I presume this is your box:

Looks like it doesn't have any spare SATA bays in it, which means some more hardware if you're looking to add an SSD (instead of replace your existing HDD).

Thus you'll need, in addition to the SSD itself, a power splitter cable for SATA such as this:

Then you'll need to use one of your PCIe ports to create a SATA port or two. I used a card like this one when I did a similar upgrade to an Aspire X3200:

Then you may also need a SATA data cable, possibly with a right-angle connector - you'll have to look in your box to see the best way to do this electrically:

Now when I did a similar upgrade, I didn't copy my existing Windows 10 installation: instead, I did a clean install to the SSD and then re-installed all my applications. At the same time, I partitioned the disk to separate data from system.

However, if you're looking to migrate your Windows 10 installation from the HDD to SSD, then take a look at this:

If you want my story - I also took advice (elsewhere) when I did this .. then take a look here:

(quite long, and not all of it will be relevant to you).
