Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 boot from a USB Flash Drive BIOS EDIT 

Usually when i buy something new and it gives me problems like this, i have rage problems. Oh, btw it worked. I only set Rufus like you said, didn't need to set Bios. Thank you

Everything happens exactly as in the video but I am stuck on the blue screen after acer loading screen and windows installation menu does not pop up. All the settings are exactly identical

Thak you for the video, I'm going to try in my computer tomorrow

Yo man. I wanna say Thank You.. Eventho took me a while, two days, but I got it fixed finally.. Thumbs up for your vid!!!

My laptop Acer nitro 5 an515-57 didn't see in bios options *sata mode* to change in '' AHCI mode'' for install Windows 10 for first use. How can i do?

Thank you so much for this video. Someone brought us this exact model with a bad m.2 and we replaced, but couldn't get it to boot to USB for Windows install. The instructions in this video worked! Liked and Subscribed!

thx i was reinstaling windows on my computer but i wasnt able to choose my usb as a boot option and i was able thanx to your video 👍

What should I do, if I don't see my bootable pendrive in bios in boot priority?

Acer sure makes it difficult to execute a simple prompt to booting to usb but you saved the day so thx

Ainda em 2021, já ajudou a dar o boot aqui, muito obrigado. A Bios já foi atualizada mas as opções ainda funcionam.

can you do step by step on how to dl rufus from other laptops?coz there is no boot mode on my laptop

Thanks a ton mate ! After upgrading SSD and installing OS on SSD, I faced a BSOD error showing a required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Then if I went to BIOS and exit it would start normally. I tried cmd and tried creating a new EFI partition on SSD hoping windows would boot from new EFI but all failed. Finally the answer found in disabling Fastboot and changing sequence of boot. So silly but you video helped a great deal. Thanks again

Thank you tried for hours until I found you.

how to know that you have to press f12 to open boot manager there was no dialog box saying that ?

Can it support 3200 MHz of RAM? Can we enable XMP to reach the advertised speeds?

Question I have the same laptop my problem is that I deleted/wiped the c drive partition trying to free up delete old files permanently. Can I order this usb or something of that nature

Chipset Configuration in advanced settings for this Laptop bro???

I had problem with new nitro 5 which already came with preinstaled linux efi shell. I needed to instal the win 10 pro and it was for the client and i dont eaven need the linux at all. It turns into nightmare cause if i try to instal win on the drive ( after turning SB off first ) the primary ssd wanst showing in win instalation. At first i thought its cause the ssd was preformated to exfat cause preinstaled linux but ater i took the ssd out and conected it through the m.2 bracket to my desktop win pc i realized there is 2 partititons 1st the efi shell partittion and 2nd the win drivers partititon which win disk utility canot delete. I was unable to see that ssd eaven in diskpart and i had no luck deleating that 2 partitions in fdisk using linux instal media eather. After i find a program on web that was able to clean whole disk and clean both those partitions i had fealing that my job is done :) sadly eaven after that i didnt saw that ssd in win instalation. Ok i had to think about it more. I took it out again and this time i formated it to exfat also had to change the disk to active again after that action. Also created new bootable media for win 10 pro with uefi support using rufus as always and after that i was finaly able to see that ssd during the win instalation proces. But i was unable to instal win on it cause it say the windows is unable to instal on others than NTFS drives ( suprised cause i thought the exfat is suported with all linux, win and also apple OS. But i realized that no wersion of win can be instaled on exfat preformated drive. You need to instal win on NTFS formated drive and then create new partition that you formate on exfat to instal other OS (linux ,apple OS) on it. Ok so i change the file format back on NTFS and try to instal win again. Ok win canot be instaled on that drive error again. When i look at the disk again in win using the usb m.2 bracket i finaly find the problem. The ssd was whole time on MBR and it needed to be GPT to win instalation can be proceed. After changing that and also again formating it to NTFS and than deleating all the partittions on it again it leave me with clean GPT disk which was previously formated on NTFS with no partittons on it and after creating the GPT UEFI suported bootable win 10 flash again in rufus i was finaly able to see the disk during win instalation and i was able to instal the windows on it withou any problem. So the problem that disk wasnt show was efi shell partiton in combination with MBR disk and exfat format. My regard is to make 2 bootable usb drives 1st efi mbr drive and 2nd efi gpt drive to see which format your drive is before you need to take it out. Also if you want to have all 3 OS win, linux ( maybe for ubumtu or novel use) and apple OS (noone fucking care how its named) remember to first intal win on NTFS ( GPT) format than split the drive and make the rest exfat. After tha you will be able to instal the rest of the OS without any problems on acer nitro 5 previously LInux preinstaled. Hope it will help someone in future to shorter his strugling instaling win on this device. :) Thanks for your time :)

Mine is grayed out and I cannot scroll down to select them. I also dont have ahci choice at all or sata mode choice? what do I do?

I have the same laptop, but it shows 2 windows boot manager, how do I fix it

I NEED VTX and VTD because I use virtual machines, what can I do?

This was so helpful I was stuck like 5 days on trying to figure out how to booth from the usb, quick question, do I always have to keep my usb in while using pc now or do I need to keep both from my usb ?

How do I boot acer nitro 5 when stuck on acer logo no loading dots

I'm trying to dual boot windows 11 and Ubuntu and I have a Nitro an 515-53 will it work?

thanks dude,,, you save my day...

Bro i want to install windows on ssd and use hdd for data

Thanks for the info!!

in the BIOS of my Nitro 5, it won't allow me to change Secure Boot to Disabled. What do i do?

Should change the bios settings back to default after installing windows 11?

Thx it really help a lot

mine says couldn't install windows in the location you choose. Please check your media drive Here's more info about what happened: 0x80300024. any idea whats happening?

in the new 2020 Acer AN5 15-55 Nitro 5, the bios doesnt allow you to set AHCI mode just like that. You have to in Windows OS set safeboot , then reboot, hot F2 into bios , then in bios >main>press ctrl-S then you set sata to AHCI mode. Seems they made it more difficult in 2020 Nitro 5.

Thanks a lot mate ❤️

This helped me show up the SSD omg thank you so much. We have the same laptop 😂😂

Thankes helped alot!!

It Also Does Not Matter About The Secure Boot Being Disabled Or GPT Or MBR Really, If You Have MBR Select MBR, If You Have GPT Select GPT And Just Select Secure Boot. All Done On Ventoy : ) . Just Enable Secure Boot.

Thank you so much my mom would have got so mad

What is total size of that file

How disabled Secure boot?

I cannot change my SATA Mode

İ cant disable secure boot ?

thanks a lot Man.

I actually tried this , I've installed Linux in my slave ssd. Because it didn't let me get into the boot screen, and just entering windows. I made all the changes But it keeps restarting when Acer screen shows up, and after 3 times off restarting it's getting into diagnostic repair mode. Where did I go wrong?

Is 8gb flash drive enough?

My bootable was still not visible even after following each step of yours

After selecting my pendrive it kept showing me boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible ffs plzz some help 🥺❤❤❤

Why cant i change secure boot?

Thanks Choom

After this, mine won't even start up anymore. Just black screen...
