Hi, 
My model is Predator G3-571

Recently the i've changed the SSD to 128 GB, and adding 1 TB SSHD to my system,
After that, i do a clean install on win 10, then reinstall all the driver from acer support

1. Why is my model Stated as "Aspire GX 785" when i looked at windows system?
2. I cannot install Predator Sense (ver 3005) and it says "Operating system not supported"

__
The clean install provide me with win 10 Home Single Language


Can i download the predator sense from some other places?
Or should i update some driver to correct the model?

    The problem here is that you have installed a generic copy of windows 10. The OS that your laptop comes with is a customised version of windows 10, edited by Acer. The custom windows has some kind of a plug in that tells predator sense that your device is g3-571. Without this plugin/custom windows 10, PredatorSense can't recognise your device as g3-571.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Can i download the edited windows from Acer?

    You have to contact Acer about that matter.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:

    Some members have posted that the W10 implementation by Acer is specific to the hardware, and hence the importance of creating a restore image.  If you don't have the image your options are limited to speaking with Acer or another user with the same model sharing a the restore image.  Personally I'd be inclined to visit a local shop with the exact same model Flash Drive in hand and ask for a little help...
