I have installed Windows 10 in a Acer E5-522 85E1, and I'm unable to enter the BIOS. I'd like to change it to UEFI to install Windows 10 in UEFI to get extra hardware working—the touchpad is barely working.
I have tried pressing F2, pressing F2 before the power button is pressed, resetting the battery, going into Windows Recovery, disabling Fast Startup in Windows.
Some have suggested that I should remove the battery to do a 'cold boot' since windows ten mostly goes into hibernation when shut down. Yet in this model, the battery is unremovable.
I'd really like to be able to get into the BIOS.
I haven't applied the BIOS flash that is listed on Acer Drivers page, but I've read that others have tried it to get it to work. I wouldn't like to open the case and remove the CMOS battery, since I still have it under warranty.
Could you guys provide any help? Thanks!
