I am trying to update the bios on my Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-011 as I am trying to install a Linux Distro on the device and running into issues with the UEFI…

I have been able to load MXLinux on the device… but I would greatly prefir Ubuntu.

I am not sure if even updating the bios would solve my problems but it is a start.

I viewed the previous question/answer "Switch 10 Bios Update yes or no" and none of the download links work. I checked the driver/manual page for the device and no drivers are listed.

    For all drivers for your Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-011 including the bios file, as Acer has discontinued their availability of drivers for your laptop, so go to a site called HelpDrivers as they have available 21 files for Acer SW5-011 laptop, so get the bios from there. With the Linux, consult Linux forums on these bios issues (unless an Acer community member has a solution?) as your Acer Switch 10 SW5-011 laptop model was exclusively only supported by Acer for the Win-10 operating system and Linux is an optional OS that Acer has no support an/or drivers for. Good luck and hope this helps you out further to solve these problems.
