Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6\" Full HD IPS Display,AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, Vega 8 Graphics, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Backlit Keyboard,Windows 10 Home, A515 Acer
I bought this October 20,2020. Used itwhen doing videos for virtual labs during the Pandemic. All other work was doneon my Desktop computer. This laptop has not been used since then. It is updatedto the latest Windows 10. It is Reset to factory settings.
I checked for upgradability toWindows 11. Per Windows 11 CoPilot it is uncertain. It has not been tested byAcer for the Upgrade. Therefore, there might be Driver issues. It has the TPM Chippresent on the mainboard & enabled in the bios. See the photos of the bios screen.
Here is the quote from Copilot.
“According to the information I found, Acer has tested severalof their laptops, desktops, and tablets for compatibility with Windows 111. However, the Acer Aspire 5 model no. N19C3 is not listed in the table of tested devices provided byAcer1. This means that Acer has not tested this specific model and thedrivers have not been updated for it1.
You can use the PC Health Check app to see if your current PCmeets the requirements to run Windows 112. If it does meet the requirements, you should be able to upgradeto Windows 112. Please note that the final decision oncompatibility rests with Acer and Microsoft. It’s always a good idea to checkwith Acer’s official support for the most accurate information.
Please remember to back up your data before proceeding withany operating system upgrade to prevent data loss. Also, ensure that yourdevice drivers are up-to-date for the best performance.”
