For those who couldn´t change uefi boot option to legacy boot, the ONLY solution is to make a bootable usb using GPT partition in Rufus, and then DISABLE secure boot. Just did this and Windows 10 was perfectly installed on the SSD.
That sounds very positive!! thanks for your comment, I hope this helps more people!!
Thank you, It helped for me!
Did all the files will be erased? After installing?
@@nestorcentinojr.512 Of course. You should back up first...
@@Remalrere how would I do that?
You can clearly see in top right corner, that the BIOS revision is different on some screenshots.
Really helped me a lot! Thanks, man!
acer nitro 2021 model ?suddenly show no bootable device.but there showing nothing to move to select uefi to legacy ?any option .if no option can i use any data recovery tool etc to recover data first
You could write a Linux Distro to USB boot to the live session and then write your data to external usb, your Acer model is very new so I'm surprised it does not boot to UEFI, have you tried the boot menu options by pressing one of the following keys, Esc, F12 or F9 depending on your model it may have normal boot or UEFI boot within the options. Hope that helps in some way and best of luck.
@@pctlc brother tried all ways but ihad seen late your method ,thanks for reply,yeah basic things and default setting all tried tha time nothing happen icant able to change uefi to legacy ,finally just backup data and reinstall window.all fine now
@@godgrace467how we're u able to reinstall windows
and if uefi is the only option? ... aspire 7 - model: A715-72g-78KC (purchased in nz) no legacy option visible
ever figure it out? same problem
@@tammygillettVictoryGarden same problem
@@tammygillettVictoryGarden Same Problem
Same problem.
it's been a while now but if i remember, the install just worked for me' i didn't need to select a legacy mode on my machine (not that there was the option), i proceeded with the install anyway, and it worked.
After Min 3:00 in your Video you changed the Bios version from 5.0 to 3.7 !! Why? I think because its not works in 5.0 right? (i mean the Legacy Mode).... It dosent exist !!
This is a big Problem in 5.0 and me must have a Solution !!
Hi KLEBEANT I'm not sure if the version number has anything to do with it, the model of laptop that I show at the beginning of the video is the laptop which this problem occurred, however that laptop was given back to the owner and I had to use another laptop to try and piece the process together, I had only taken photos of the bios locations I thought I needed at that time to remember what I had changed, I hadn't even thought of creating a video at that point in time, when I decided to make a video about it I realised I did not have all the information needed, so I used some pictures of another laptops bios to piece it together, I thought this may help some people, there is nothing different regarding the process. If people are trying this process on different model laptops in may or may not work and that maybe the case judging by some of the negative comments being made. Hope this clears up any questions you may have had.
@@pctlc Can you make a video for that bios version 5.0?
Is there any wrong if there is no option for the boot priority order?
In your case the boot mode opened but legacy mode was greyed out but in my laptop the boot mode is greyed out.. can u give a solution
Did you set your password first?
@@pctlc same here... set the password but no luck.. only the secure boot is enabled but boot mode still as grey. not able to select anything. can you help ?
@@kalibutt9825 I no longer have this laptop, however I would suggest booting into the bios and press the F9 button and set back to defaults, after that check if the boot option is available, if not try setting the password again, if that does not work I can only think if the laptop has a bios battery that's not soldered on you could remove that for 30min's and try again, of course this is a big job if the battery has no access panel underneath. If any of those do not work I'm at a loss as to why and would be unable to assist any further! very sorry for that? Your laptop and my laptop would seem to have different behaviours and I'm unsure as to why.
my same problem.laptop open but no Ufe & legency.silver this problem
@@kalibutt9825 It means your laptop use UEFI Class 3 (No Legacy Support)
I did all that and still my acer aspire 5 didn't have a legacy boot mode
Hi Alazar, sorry to hear that, if it's not the same model it probably will not work.
Same problem
Did you find any solution ? Cause I am having Aspire 5 and iam facing the same problem. Please guide me
@@Charlie-lf5th kinda i keep it plugged when i'm doing something like gaming but otherwise when i'm watching youtube or studying i don't always keep it plugged in...FYI this doesn't always work only sometimes
UEFI is not active
you cannot select LEGACY
Yeah same
In my laptop there is no any option to changing UEFI to Legacy. I tried Everything.....please help
Hi Muspy Tech, unfortunately if it's not the same model it may not work, check out the comment from Remalrere that maybe of some help.
In my lap to , what should I do.
Help me bro to sort out
Really thanks 😊 a lot
You're very welcome!
I hate w orking with Acers. Got a ES 512, with windows 10 on it. Wanted windows 7 on so added a disc changed to legacy and windows 7 starts to load but then after 1 min or so the laptop restarts. Cannot understand whats going on. Also the hard drive has 6 different partitions on it!.
That's a strange one, have you tried custom install and delete all partitions and start fresh?
@@pctlc ur telling me bud. Laptop has issues, bought it from ebay needing a new keyboard. Wasnt described.properly. is liquid damaged so now stripped at mo. Got windows.on it now. Problem was one of.keys was pressed all the time.and.kept rebooting the laptop on windows.install screen.lol. keyboard removed solved it. Still has issues however but im getting there. Deleted.all partitions.and reinstalled fine. 500gb hdd.is perfect however along with ram. Cheap feel to Acers though,nasty.plastics. I like HPs for quality.
That's awesome mate!! yes I've had many times some object resting on the keys and I didn't know lol can mess with ya head Hahahaha great to hear you got it going!!
my acer laptop cant see my bootable device even if ive done all of this any help ?? i cant set it to legacy too pls helpppp
Have you set usb as first boot? or tried the laptop advanced boot options , probably by pressing esc, F8 or F12 key on start up?
I cant switch from UEFI to Legacy as the option is not there, any help?
Unfortunately there's no help sorry! If it's not the same model you may not have the option.
i needed only to unlock uefi's security disable setting, with the psw now i can disable it, thanks
You're welcome!
In my bios the boot mode doesn't shows up. Can somebody help me?
Maybe try an internet search for the bios settings and options for that model?
It doesn't come up with any of the boot options, what do i do???
Sorry! I'm not sure there is any other option outside of what I have shown in the video?
Don t see the legacy bios and nothing on boot priority
Bro after changing my supervisor password.. i can only select the secure boot ... i cant select boot mode to change UEFI what will do ???
If it doesn't work it may not be the same model as the one in the video, if it is the same model then I really cannot answer that question I'm sorry.
Same problem bro......
If you found any clue please telll me
mine like that too
Same problem... any solutions?
Same problem
What should i do it only shows secure boot where can i found that legacy thing?
Hi, if it's not the same laptop it probably will not work, different models behave differently, some may be the same some may not be.
I'm using Packed Bell and don't have the option for Legacy, I don't know how to find it
It's showing me the UEFI only , no legacy
Check the comment from Remalrere, it maybe a solution for you.
I have no Boot Mode option. Please help!
No boot mode option in your bios?
@@pctlc Yes, there is no boot mode. It's greyed out.
Christopher Schrock same
And why are you in User Password all of a sudden, when before you were in supervisor Password? Care to share some insight? Because I don't like just to act on advice without understanding why...
Also, unfortunately it didn't work. It says "changes are only made after reboot" and then doesn't change. It doesn't even show option to change to Legacy.
Did u fixed it?
Same bro. Did u find any solution?
@@deepakkumarkushwaha4315 No, except for buying a DVD drive and installing from there. Seems Acer has completely disabled Legacy, at least on this product.
Not working in bios version 5.0
I installed ubuntu and i can't find boot mode option in bios
You can get to boot options by pressing certain keys upon startup, the following link has a list of boot menu option keys for a lot of different computer brands, hope this helps www.wikigain.com/boot-menu-option-keys-for-all-laptops-desktops/
hello, i have acer es1-431 laptop, i accidentally change the boot mode to uefi for some reason and after i change that and saved it appears "no bootable device", later on, i turned on again the laptop, but i could no longer access the bios setup by pressing the boot keys, the screen was stocked in acer logo but WITHOUT the loading thingy.. I've done research in google for these and i tried several tutorials and techniques but none of them worked. The acer itself stated that once the uefi boot is anabled, you will lose the access of keyboard, mouse etc.
so much for that, anyone can help me how to access the bios setup to change the boot mode to legacy? but how to do it if i can't access the keyboard.
----thanks in advance :-)
I cant find boot mode on boot tab what can i do?
Maybe not the same model?
@@pctlc idk :/
I have an acer aspire es1 11 132 and there is no "Boot Mode" option
If it's not the same model as the one in the video it probably will not have the same options.
How to repair this icant find a boot or uefi
Maybe not the same model, that's probably why.
Your Bios is v3.7 .... the problem is on v5
I have explained in the comment section regarding the two different versions.
all blur video , nothing is visible , audio in not good
hi, somebody can help me? the BOOT MODE still DISABLE on my BIOS i try create a password/user in menu SECURITY but NOTHING...I have a stupid idea to remove the HDD to another computer for install windows after install I mount back the HDD and now evertime display NO BOOTABLE DEVICE. Now I need Miracle someone can operate it?
Hi Pedro, Windows normally does not allow you to install on one computer and move the hard drive to another, is your bios set to UEFI mode or bios mode?
PCTLC hi, recently computers doesn’t allow install windows and move hdd to another computer.
But old computers allowed this method
Answer your question: my bios set by default UEFI option.
@@pedrochavane2927 What is it you are trying to achieve, install Windows without UEFI or with?
PCTLC installing windows without UEFi I mean using LEGACY mode because UEFI doesn’t showing USB (boot).
@@pedrochavane2927 have you tried using the boot menu option? F8, F2, F12 key which ever key it maybe, the boot menu option may have more choices, USB name of usb or USB UEFI name of usb? the following website has information how to achieve that for you computer - www.wikigain.com/boot-menu-option-keys-for-all-laptops-desktops/
I've done everything in the vid but the only option I have is UEFI
Sorry to hear that, maybe you have a different model?
Same problem
I have a Acer Nitro 5 i7 9750H system. I haven't get option = Legacy boot or UEFI , I have only UEFI option. I can't install windows 10 32bit os.
Hi emrah, checking out the specs of your laptop it appears to be 64bit Windows only, www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/model/NH.Q59EK.003 scroll down until you get to the heading, Software. Hope this helps.
we have the same laptop and same issue.... i dont have a legacy option
I dont have a boot mode option
Maybe a different laptop compared to video?
Excuse me sir but what if i cant click to the boot option? Like i cant navigate through it using the arrows? What should i do.
Hi Janice, depends whether or not it is the same model as the one in the video, if it's not it may not have that option, if it is I'm really not sure why that would be?
@@pctlc Pls help my bio’s option doesn’t have boot mode
I encountered a password on the super user but the boot mode crash does not change I can not put the inherited mode
help 😔 in the boot menu i don't have boot mode so i can't change it to legacy
Is your computer the same model as the one in the video, if not it maybe completely different?
it's acer aspire 5
Ranyym m7md hey do you already know how to fix it?
I have the same problem, pls help
This video didn't help at all unless I have the exact same model which is dumb
Sorry about that, unfortunately the bios changes from one model to another.
do you really think I need that shared information, way too &^%$# wordy I just want the facts tell me how to change uefi to legacy
I did not hide any information, the black box was there to show which area to put your password and which area not to, When you have changed your password go back to the Boot menu, arrow down or up to Boot Mode and press the Enter key, select Legacy Bios, arrow down to Secure Boot, press the enter key and select Disable. Once you complete that hit the escape key and go back to Security and reset you password as explained in the video. 3:56mins Sorry for the late reply, youtube did not inform me of your comment.
@@pctlc why would you even bother responding to such rude person? you are too kind... I would have told him to shaft his entitlement attitude down his ass
I still can’t change the boot mode to legacy Even after making a supervisor password
Hi George, maybe your model is different to the one in the video?
Hi 75hilmar, unfortunately if it's not the same computer it may behave differently, if it's the same I'm not sure what the issue could be there.
Same problem here. Still can't change it to Legacy even after making a supervisor password.
It doesn't work
If you want help guys msg in my fb I know how to fix it. No legeacy? No boot mode? no problem
Thank you for offering another solution, your'e welcome to message here if it helps.
@@pctlc Thank you. I just love to help
I've got the same problem ive done everything step by step and still no legacy boot option at all
What was your solution? Im having a similar issue. (Ill message on FB as well)
My boot mode is still disabled help??
in what way? I need more information
PCTLC it was greyed out on the boot mode so I couldn't fix it but don't worry I got it working by just waiting 30 minutes and it went back to normal. Great video though
Hi Jestkys Thanks, I'm glad it worked out for you!
I'm not able to move the arrows to select legacy . Please help me with this. Any shortcut to do it.
All models of computers react differently, if it's not the same model as the one in the video it maybe difficult for me to help. I'm assuming your comment is relating to you being in the computer bios?
Hello brother I’m stuck somewhere can you please directly me
I will try my best, what would you like help with?
i can found legacy in boot section
😭😭
its only enable😭 no UEFI and Legacy mode
Sake shit 😭😭..
Someone help me 😭
Sorry I wish I could help you, if it's not the same model it probably will not work the same as in the video.
STOP misleading sir, you used two laptops to accomplish that BIOS rev. 5.0 and 3.7 black and white laptop
thank goodness I didn't subscribe
Hi MyTech, there is no misleading intended in this video, what is depicted in this video is 100% correct regarding the steps taken to achieve the end result, as stated in a previous comment, this video may have helped some, however very clearly not others, I provided a Model number on the video, if people are trying this with different models they may experience different reactions because of varying hardware. The one thing I can tell you, what happened in this video provided a solution for me and this video was an after thought, so I had quickly taken some photos at different times to try and piece it all together, sorry it didn't work out for you. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
Why didn`t you show how you changed it? When we set supervisor password we can`t change uefi. Lier man
When you have changed your password go back to the Boot menu, arrow down or up to Boot Mode and press the Enter key, select Legacy Bios, arrow down to Secure Boot, press the enter key and select Disable. Once you complete that hit the escape key and go back to Security and reset you password as explained in the video. 3:56mins
