A715-71G latest bios according to ACER support site is 1.13. Also there the latest drivers are from 2017 - looks like ACER dropped support for this model in favor of the new 72G models.
But something weird happened when i was looking in the device manager of win 10. There was a tab labelled firmware and showed 1.10. Now I was pretty sure I had installed 1.13 and i clicked the update driver tab. It searched online and found 1.15 and installed it. After that it requested a reboot. It rebooted several times and I was thinking how dumb I was since I have never ever done a bios update through device manager and what I did could mess my laptop. In relief it finally restarted in win 10 again. In device manager firmware showed now 1.15. I rebooted into BIOS which again indicated 1.15 indeed. All things work ok since then.
Now only in the new A715-72G support page you can find BIOS 1.15 and 1.19 but I think this model has a different chipset and probably also a different motherboard. So what happened? Is it just that ACER hasn't updated their support pages or something different?

There are hundreds of computer manufacturers out there and each seems to have their own idea when it comes to designating a key sequence to enter BIOS. There are often even huge differences in BIOS access methods between different models made by the same company!
This list of BIOS access keyboard commands is a work in progress - meaning I need your help! If you have any additional BIOS access information to pass on or if you find a mistake, please let me know.
