Desktops & All-In-Ones

As a final answer to my problem: I hate this model!! Finally find that in BOOT MENU (by pressing F12 or by managing it into the BIOS configuration), the CD/DVD drive and the connected USB devices doesn't show in the options, it only shows Windows Boot Manager and nothing else...

I think this can be resolved by a new BIOS upgrade in which were included this modifications... Unfortunately the latest available BIOS upgrade doesn't help too much.

Thank you all for trying to help me!!

All,

I would like to announce we have released a BIOS update that supports the "Launch CSM" item in BIOS setup menu. Please visit http://www.acer.com/worldwide/ -> select your region -> click Support -> Drivers and Manuals -> Select your Product, and then download the BIOS version released on 9/15/2014 (or later).

Please be advised due to hardware limitations when CSM mode is enabled you may experience some HDMI audio issues.

Does this mean that all New Bios will be released for other Systems as well so that ALL ACERS can revert back to Windows 7. via CSM - mode. ?

Thank you for addressing my request by releasing a BIOS update that supports CSM boot. This is a useful feature that is not yet obsolete. I personally have no need for HDMI audio so the down side to using CSM boot will not effect me. Sticking with Acer instead of returning the computer was the right choice. I will purchase your products in the future. I've been really happy with the Acer XC-603-UR10 hardware wise. Hopefully this BIOS update will meet the needs of the customers seeking CSM boot for the installation of Windows 7. I tried to install OpenBSD to meet my needs and while OpenBSD did boot, there was a kernel panic, which is something I've never seen before. Hopefully the OpenBSD mailing list will be able to advise me about the problem.

Again, Acer Customer Support, thank you very much for responding to the demands of your customers.
