Step. 2: Back up personal data. Before the upgrade, you should back up all your important data.

First, visit the Acer download page to get the latest BIOS for your model, and update your system with the latest BIOS. Please do not interrupt the process, and make sure the system is always connected to an AC power supply during the update. Download the Windows Vista® drivers for your model, and store them in an external storage device (ex: USB flash drive or DVD). If you bought the device from another vendor, check the vendor's support website for the workable driver.
If some hardware devices do not work properly or lack a proper driver after the upgrade, you may use the downloaded drivers to update your PC.
