I've experienced the same issue. Windows 24H2 update fails to install, and I think it's because it can't see the target drive because it's somehow missing the IRST driver. In fact, it just happened to me this morning. Since I purposefully broke my RAID, I think I'm going to repartition the boot drive so I don't need to use…

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, these steps didn't work with my PH18-72!

Thank you! Control-S exposed 2 additional menu options on the main options screen under the Network Boot toggle. A bit frustrating with that hidden VMD flag - I felt like I had to hold off on any further attempts to fix my OS issues until I could figure out why Windows couldn't see any partitions! :D

Hi Steven. Yes, luckily skillissues8327 was able to share the procedure that worked on his PH18-71. It worked on my PH18-72 as well. VMD is clearly enabled in the boot chain given that my two SSDs are present in BIOS but no usable partitions were visible to Windows without the IRST driver loaded. ;)

I've already confirmed that 64GB works in my reply above. Exactly what additional confirmation to you need?

Lol. No doubt! I applied v1.10 yesterday before reinstalling Windows to try to resolve some application crashes & issues with browsers & other web-based apps. One thing that is fixed (hooray!) is use of external USB keyboard for invoking F2, F12 and entering BIOS password at boot. This never worked for me before - always…

It was my first time ever contacting Acer support about anything. The last time I owned an Acer product was a long while back - an Acer Travelmate 800LCI in 2003 (kickass laptop at the time!) that I really liked. Price for this 18" 4090 powered monster was pretty reasonable considering the spec, and here I am. So, while…

As requested.

Assume the OP has already figured this out, but I was in the same boat, when looking to upgrade my system to 64GB RAM. I even called Acer support to ask the same question, where the support person flat out LIED to me and told me: 1 - 32GB is the max memory that the laptop can support and 2 - that it would NEVER support…
