I HAVE AN ACER ASPIRE 5 UNIT THAT IS JUST TWO YEARS FROM NEW AND ALL SPECS HAVE MET CRITERIA TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 11 BUT WINDOWS JUST WANTS ME TO PURCHASE A NEW UNIT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! TIME TO JUST SWITCH OVER TO LINUX. EVERY TIME THERE'S AN UPGRADE ALWAYS PROBLEMS, DRIVERS, BLUETOOTH FUNCTIONALITY, ETC. AND WINDOWS JUST RECOMMENDS PURCHASING A NEW UNIT. MY UNIT IS JUST TWO YEARS OLD AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

Vintage: Acer Aspire One 722 {Ram Questions}

Hi Captain.

While I'm not answering your question on a new AV I would suggest as a possible step, upgrading your ram.

Crucial has ram for your device. $40 (not sure about tax or shipping) Your device seems to have one slot so you would need the 4GB stick. As you are using 32bit OS you can only use of 3GB. Crucial says you have one slot for memory and tear down videos seem to confirm this.

Here is the Crucial Link. Confirm for yourself that this is the right device. (Acer Aspire One 722-0022)

Then here are the step by steps to replace.

Memory is static sensitive. Not as much of an issue when it is humid but still something to be aware of. If you don't want to buy a ground strap touch something that is grounded before starting the procedure and then don't go looking for things. Stay seated and perform. You should be fine.

External ram ??? Even if you could buy you wouldn't have port with sufficient speed to connect.

Acer Aspire 5

Ive recently bought an acer aspire 5 A515 52 laptop. It was advertised as having a backlit keyboard which is one of the main reason I bought this laptop over the others. I cannot figure out how to turn it on, ive looked through settings and tried fn+f9.
Does anyone know how to turn the backlit keyboard on?

 

Acer Aspire 5560 not upgrading to windows 10

That Error Code seems to be most frequently associated with/pointing to incompatible Drivers. The Acer Aspire 5560 Model is only listed on the Acer Site under 'Legacy Hardware' as far as I can tell, which suggests they may not be too interested in providing
further firmware/driver updates, but you could try asking on their Forums. According to this site ( Acer Aspire 5560, 5560G Notebook Win7, Win8 Driver, Utility | Notebook Drivers ) the last updates were released in 2012!
