If your laptop has an 8th Gen Intel CPU or newer, it is officially supported. Windows 11 handles "Thread Scheduling" better for newer CPUs, which can actually improve gaming stability on Nitro and Predator models.

Visit acer.com/support. Enter your SNID (11-digit code) or Serial Number found on the bottom sticker of your laptop to get the exact drivers for your hardware.

On startup, when the Acer logo appears, hold the Alt key and tap F10 repeatedly. This launches the Acer eRecovery Management where you can choose "Reset this PC."

Most modern Aspire 5 models use DDR4 or DDR5 SO-DIMM modules. Use the Crucial System Scanner or check the "Memory" tab in Task Manager to see your current speed (e.g., 3200MHz) before buying an upgrade.

Generally, no (in most regions like the US/EU), provided you don't break anything during the process. However, look for a "Warranty Void if Tampered" sticker over a screw—if present, contact Acer local support first.

For security reasons, BIOS passwords cannot be easily reset by users. You will likely need to contact Acer Support with proof of purchase to get a "Challenge Code" or have the CMOS battery cleared by a technician.

Completely shut down the laptop. Press the Power button and immediately start tapping the F2 key repeatedly until the BIOS screen appears.

Go to Device Manager, right-click your Wi-Fi Adapter (e.g., Intel Killer Wi-Fi), and select Uninstall Device. Restart your laptop; Windows will automatically reinstall a fresh driver.

Try "Uninstalling" the keyboard driver in Device Manager and restarting. If it's a hardware issue, Acer keyboards are usually riveted to the top case; for a quick fix, use a USB or Bluetooth keyboard to confirm it’s not a software bug.

Use the NitroSense software. Click the keyboard icon in the top right corner. You can customize static colors or dynamic effects across different zones. If NitroSense won't open, ensure the "Acer Service" is running in Services.msc.
