Windows 10 Supported Models list and what to do if you're model isn't listed.

We've seen a number of topics and questions from users whose Acer model is not listed in the Windows 10 update support list, which I'll link below.
The list that Acer provided is for products that we are committed to helping support running the Windows 10 operating system. Microsoft has also stated that they have worked very hard to make sure that the upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 is available for as many users as possible and that the Windows 10 operating system will work with as many different hardware components as possible.
If your unit is not on this list, you're still eligible for Microsoft's upgrade to Windows 10; however, Acer cannot guarantee full compatibility with all aspects of the PC. Again, Acer is not preventing users from taking advantage of the upgrade offer with Windows 10; however, if your unit is not listed, it's possible that you may run into trouble with specific components of your PC not working well, or at all, with Windows 10. The Acer Community is a great place for users in the second scenario to be able to work together to find sufficient drivers or applications that will support their needs.

Yep, printers are always an issue. Over the years I'd guess that half my new printers have been bought after learning the manufacturer wasn't going to release an updated driver for the new OS - be it Mac or Windows.

  • I would like to sign-up for an  e-card web site.  However, I am not able to hear the music on the web-site.  It says that Apple does not support MIDI music.  Why is it Apple does not support MIDI music and what can I do about it?

    I recently had wanted to sign-up for an e-card web-site.  However, when I clicked on the web-page, I am NOT ABLE TO HEAR ANY MUSIC.  The message shown is that Apple does not support MIDI music. 
    What other software can I download in order for me to listen to the music on this web-page?

    Please don't tell my wife this, she's been working with MIDI on her Mac(s) since the turn of the century...
    The statement from that web site is completely incorrect. What they probably meant was that their software doesn't support Mac. IMHO this is a sign of either ignorance or lack of concern on the part of the site creators. Back in the dark ages a lot of PC apps didn't support Mac but not these days.
    Get into your Mac Help window and search MIDI. There's plenty of info there on how your Mac supports MIDI.

  • How to best run windows on my mac and what version?

    I want to run windows on my mac by partitioning part of an external hard drive.  What version of windows should I license, use parralels or fusion, and any other recommendations?

    There are two ways to run Windows on an Apple computer.
    1. Use Bootcamp Assistant to create a Bootcamp partition then install Windows on the Bootcamp partition. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. Use Windows 7. Windows in a Bootcamp partition will not boot nor run from an external drive. You must use the first internal drive.
    2. Use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox and install Windows as the guest operating syste. See the virtual machine sites for instructions. Use whichever version of Windows you want.

  • Where is all Windows 7 related information, and what is my Product Key?

    Hi folks,
    I have a U150, I bought it from lenovo 15 days ago. And just now I realized that it has no windows related information in the package. In old times there was a sticker at the bottom of laptops that has product key, a booklet that has product key, Windows CD etc...
    The only windows related sticker is on the palmrest, right hand side of the touchpad and there is windows logo on it, nothing else.
    There was no CD, (this is ok of course hence no disk drive on U150), no booklet, no product key information, no piece of paper related to windows, just lenovo booklets..
    Are they missing? or this is the new trend? What if I want to re-install windows without using one-key recovery button? I think I can use a program that shows Win7 product key. Not only I do not trust them, (they can send this key somewhere next time computer connects to internet), but also I want to do this right way...
    Thanks in advance....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Oh,
    I just put the battery, plug it on the wall and started using it. Never tought it might be in there, after realizing looking for it. When I am home in the evening, I'll check..
    Thanks for the advice...
    Edit: Yes, it was there... thank you..

  • How does the new HTML5 video Support work? and what are the limitations?

    So the new Edge has been relased along with many new features including HTML5 video support So along with the new feature here are a few new questions!
    How does Edge load the Video? is it fully preloaded before Edge shows the content ? Or is it more of a "youtube" pregressive load while playing?
    Or can we choose?
    What is the recommended video file size  example 4mb ?
    How does edge deal with browsers that only support .ogg or .webm instead of mp4?
    How is the support on ISO & tablets? load times, "lag" etc?

    When you import an audio or video file a group is created for you. You can import media with the same name(videosample.ogv; videosample.mp4) to this group for ensuring browser compatibility. The corresponding format will be chosen depending on the browser that loads the composition.
    Regarding WebM format - You can also add a webm file in your composition;However since this is a royalty format, Animate will not show a live preview inside the Authoring tool. If you browser supports this then it will definitely play fine on browser preview.
    You can take a look at the In-app Video lesson which is available to you in the lesson panel for more details on how this works.
    And yes you have pre-load options for HTML5 Video too, however progressive download is not available. You will need to use scripting using JS for getting this functionality.
    Hope this helps and do try this out.

  • Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

    Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions?  I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X.  Thanks

    Hi Tom
    Thanks
    I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
    They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
    I have just imported some 1 minute tests from  other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
    Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats!  In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
    I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported.  I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files!  But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!)  I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
    But, how can I do that if only some will import?  As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
    I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
    thanks

    PS  I am using Lion

  • Edit: this thread is now about tiresmokes tech support ($250/hr) and what graphics card to buy.

    my card overheated once, but i always hear people talking about overheating cards 3 times and fixing the problem and leaving the post with "thanks everyone, its fixed now".
    now, with proper cooling, my problems show up about 10mins into 3dmark03 demo or 20 mins in a game. It seems to be heat related. Corrupt graphics, like blue lines across the screen and polygons that are all over the screen.
    does overheating it once make it easier for the corruption to happen again? like at lower temps? my airflow is set up exactly like the alienware computer it came from (the radeon 9700 pro) (same case, on the inside).
    i also noticed people were saying the PSU could be the problem, but in my case its a temperatuer problem right?

    oh, it absolutely is heat related =P i dunno why i said it seems  . It needs a fan blowing air directly at it, otherwise those little heatsinks on the back of the gpu gets Freaking HOT! Im just wondering if by overheating once, it makes it easier to overheat again.
    the radeon 9700 pro by the way. I put it in my old computer and overhated it, its got bad airflow and no fan to put near the card. i turned it off once i saw signs of overheating (other people say they overheat it till it turns itselff off.. . .  and then they end up fixing it). now i put it in the new rig which is the same as the case this card used to be in. Hrrm. Im just holding back on graphics card so using my friends, free is good !!
    just letting you guys know, update on the heat situation, im ordering arctic silver 5, 2 fans and a fan controller. i contemplated a zalman, but im sure the stock heatsink is fine.
    and a random comment for ya, DANG my old HDD is LOUD. with the fans on the psu heat sensor, the hdd is the loudest piece of this machine =P
    edit. im getting the urge for a nice large storage hdd. I feel strange, i dont want to dirty my raptor. lol .

  • Firefox doesn't answer questions and what it does give you is wrong

    Firefox crashed on me and all my information is lost. It automatically defaulted to the Mozilla page. My version also has no help in menu so unable to use the restore to get back information. Have tried and been successful in finding the back up file through windows search, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to restore info. What I am really after is details I had stored in a program Firefox suggested. There was a little square in the right top side to activate it..but I can't find it anywhere. It had phone numbers, appointments etc.

    Are you still using the previously used default profile folder?

  • Enumeration and what it means to you.

    What is enumeration, and how does it affect your everyday life?

    Let me count the ways...
    The java Enumeration class is used for things that that can enumerate
    themselves - as described here:

    Iterator and Iterable are more useful as described here:

    If you created a new AppleID with the new email address, then that is exactly what will happen.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you used when buying them.  Anything tied to an old(er) AppleID is forever tied to it and you need that older AppleID's password to update those apps.
    Your only option is to buy those apps again, paying a second time, to get them under your new AppleID.
    For future reference, if you just wish to change the primary email you are using for your AppleID, you should log in to the "Mange your AppleID" section at https://appleid.apple.com and just edit the primary email address for your existing AppleID.

  • I recently was given an old mac Mini from a friend, but iPhoto is not installed, and it is too old a version to support a current update - what can I do?

    I was recently given a Mac Mini from a friend.  It is an old version (model A1176) and cannot support a current version of iPhoto from the app store.  It originally came with iLife, but was apparently wiped when they cleaned the hard drive to give it to me, and they cannot find the CD to reload it.  I can no longer find iLife '11 in the app store.  Is there anything I can do to be able to store photos from my iPhone onto the computer?

    You Model does not support the latest iLife
    What specific Mini do you have? The A1179 covers three models
    How to identify Mac mini models
    The early and late 2006 can only go to 10.6.8 but the mid 2007 can go to Lion. With Lion you can get iPhone from the Mac App Store by:
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    Otherwise you will have to call Apple and order the iLife DVD or get a DVD from Amazon or other places.
