    Upgrading an ACER Aspire 5720 to Windows 10


    This is possibly not a Windows 10 question but I hope you can help.
    I am trying to setup live streaming for the local church during this period of lock down due to Covid. I have a trial system working from home using my laptop or PC so no problem with that aspect.
    I have been given an Acer Aspire 5720 to use in the church for this purpose. Currently running Windows 7 -
    I know that I can't update it to Windows 10 (or can I?) but I do have a Windows 8.1 disk I could use.
    There is an additional problem with the Acer in that the admin account is password protected and the password is not known.
    I can get into BIOS and set CD as boot disk but of course password issue blocks me going further.
    Any help appreciated.

    :)

    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!

  3. 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.

      I expected hardware issues but every thing looks good. It is actually slightly faster and more responsive
      then the upgrade my other acer 722 which has 64 bit pro and 8 gigs memory.
      I was planning to put mint Linux on this little one but decided to see if it upgrade to w10 .
