Upgrade to Windows 11: frequently asked questions

[Gabe]

crazymark84,

I would try using the Windows 11 system installation download available on the previous page.

If you're waiting on a BIOS with Secure Boot, you may be waiting a while.

Hello admin!

Could you please provide me with a win11 compatible Bios as well?
Here are my data:

Type GK3V
Core version 5.13
UEFI 2.7 PI 1.6
Project version 1AUAJ 0.38 x64
Version 2.19.1268 American Megatrends Inc.

See attached screenshot.

Best regards!

Hi Admin,

I believe mine is the v25. My system shows a Core Version of 5.13, Compliancy of UEFI 2.7; PI 1.6, and Project Version of GK1V25 0.01 x64.

I hope this can also get a BIOS update for Secure Boot. I purchased it in June 2021, after Microsoft announced its system requirements for Windows 11.

Hello dragonpoo,
This is the upgrade file you need:

The upgrade method is already in the compressed package, just unzip it like other compressed packages. Hope this helps you.
This upgrade file is only suitable for BIOS whose BIOS version is V25.

Hello, i updated my Mini-PC with this BIOS but since this i have the problem that the PC will not start. i would like to have the original bios.

Are you sure your model is the one specified for this particular BIOS update?

Yes I am sure. the pc started after the update. then it runs reliably as long as you don't switch it off.

once it's switched off, it won't start again for the time being, the fan runs but you don't get a picture. If you disconnect and reconnect the power supply a few times, it will start again at some point.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the problem is, so I would like to go back to the original bios to see if it works as before.

It would be a shame if the device were completely defective after a year.

simdir87,

I would contact barry, who's a tech for the company, at barry@minipcunion.com. He may be able to help with the issue.

Try first signing into your Google account, then try the download again. If you don't have a Google account, I'd create one, sign in, then try downloading again.

Google Drive limits the number of downloads from non Google accounts, but if you're signed into Google you shouldn't have any problem downloading the file.

I have a similar issue but for an AK3V (J4125) branded as ACEPC and bought late 2020.

As this post seems to be relevant for a different model (GK1) then I am not going to download BIOS for that.

As this is a recent thread (the only other I could find has not been touched since 2020), I thought I would post a reply here. I cannot find any vendor support channels to use (which was a surprise). Every bit of tech that I have ever bought had some form of product support even if only a support section of a website and a downloads section.
