My experience with my Predator 17 (G9-791) is that the BIOS is limited compared with other systems released at the time that had similar hardware. Some schools of thought think it wise to leave as few variables as possible to the user to prevent complications. I wonder if this is why Acer installs these half-functional…

That sucks. I would clear the CMOS or whatever equivalent the system has. Be sure to record all the settings in BIOS that are important as they will be reset to default. The CMOS is easily cleared by removing the coin-cell battery and disconnecting all other power sources from the system. Leave disconnected for 90 seconds…

That very nearly is a .reg file format, but it has been transformed into a human-readable format. There is probably an Acer utility on the techbench that creates it from a .reg file. It looks to be reproducible if done manually, but the level of patience required is similar to stacking dominoes into a 3' high tower on…

I have heard worse ideas. My experience has taught me not to install "vendor drivers" on machines that are no longer supported (2-3 years after launch). On my Predator 17 I think I found the best method. Do clean install. Install vendor (Acer) ahci & chipset at the Windows install prompt.. Like, yes, when it has you…

I2c driver is installed and working as described.The driver page indicates, upon a banner above the listed drivers, that I should install the I2c driver before installing the touchpad driver. This is not the case, as this touchpad features technology that wasn't in existence when the…

You can download the ISO here. You must be very careful to select the correct edition and type of Windows 7 or the serial number won't work. I believe the tool from the link I provided allows OEM copies. you can typically find the Windows 7 sticker on the device or in the documentation that came with it. The sticker will…

It's likely that the video cable has become dislodged. Look up a disassembly/assembly guide on YouTube or iFixit and learn how to tear down the laptop without breaking stuff. Unplug the video cable, and reseat it into the port. Be very careful with the cable as it is typically very fragile.If you are able to see anything…

If it has the same sound architecture as my variant G9-791-78CE I suggest using the Realtek proprietary drivers. It works perfectily on my WIn10 20H2 setup. Depending on your driver config it may or may not work correctly. That's best found…

Does an external USB keyboard produce the correct characters? Are you booting Windows from GRUB or similar bootloader?

You can create the default Power Plans using these steps: Windows 10 Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Power Options On the left, it says 'Create a power plan,' click on that and arrive at this screen: Pick the type of plan you want to create and make sure to name the plan (I name High Performance High Performance).…
