I would like to upgrade my Aspire M5-581TG BIOS from 1.12 to 2.11 so I can have full UEFI support for windows 10. Right now, I can not boot into the UEFI install of woindows 10 by default directly. the only way to do it is enable the f12 boot menu and select the "Unknown Dvice: Windows Boot Manager" which is annoying and prevents me from easily dual-booting.

 

So I tried to upgrade the BIOS from the offical website located here: however when I download, unzip, and run the application I get the following error. "Please update to the same type of BIOS (v1.x)" and after I click OK on that error message popup the utility will close and I can not upgrade the BIOS.

 

How can I do this so I can have UEFI support?

    Nope, no way.

     

    2.x versions are only for M5 with windows 8 from factory, yours has windows 7.

    I'm not an Acer employee.
