As of 2025, Acer is moving toward Intel’s “Capsule Update” standard and Microsoft’s Pluton security processor. Future Acer laptops may store BIOS images in the SPI flash with hardware-rooted encryption keys unique to each motherboard.
Open decrypted.bin in UEFITool. You should now see a valid UEFI image. Save it as your final BIOS ROM. sha256 = hashlib
