Hi friend,
I can do it for You, but I want to advice that I don't know what will happens as I don't tried by myself to upgrade to UEFI and I haven't this laptop and I read You have to reinstall your OS Win 8 or Win7 and if it's leaked Marker sllic 2.1 You have to introduce or WindSLIC into.

I will looking for more infos and reply here, but if You want to do I will post the modified files.
With regards.
thank you very much ,have a nice day
Ok I have spoken with a friend of mine and he said that when a model is sold without Windows 8, then it is delivered with 1.x bios which lacks UEFI booting and Secure Boot support.
If the same model is sold with Windows 8, then its is delivered with 2.x bios with the option of UEFI booting and Secure Boot.
So it's possible to upgrade, but it has to modify Flasher to unlock protectionguard.
DisableSecureCapsuleFlash=1 to 0 ! Now I'll do and post the modded files, but I found this help too to get RAID Mode anabled on bios 1.08 vers :
Here's the explanation on how it works:
According to this site (http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/674...-m5-4.html) "The 20GB SSD has a 4GB hibernation partition (which will have to be changed if RAM is upgraded) and a 14.64 GB partition used for caching via installed ExpressCache software from Diskeeper.".
So, if you increase the RAM (to 6GB, it's the maximum), you WILL have to increase the IRST partition and reduce in turn the expresscache one.
Enable ISRT (Intel Smart Response Technology). -> NOT TESTED, FOLLOW IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
If you follow this path you won't be able to use IRST unless you upgrade your SSD (even then, I am not quite sure on how both technologies would interact).
You have to upgrade your BIOS to an unlocked one, so that you turn on the option "RAID Mode" on the BIOS and in turn get the accelerate option on the software.
To do so you have to get EZH20 (look on google for it), so that you can modify your BIOS image.
•Download Acer's 1.08 BIOS version and unpack it with winrar/7zip. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...ER&SC=PA_7
•Open EZH20 and open in turn the file *.fd.
•Replace the Setup Utility module (FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670) with the one from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8773661/SetupUt...18c9e0.bin.
•Save the file
•Move the file to the same folder as where InsydeFlash is and FLASH.
•Restart, hopefully everything will be fine.
•If you DON'T want to reinstall Windows follow this guide on how to change HDD driver mode ht*tp://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?s=58600f8b17ba9da23c5d930db957e7f6&p=16564878&postcount=5.
•Change your mode on the BIOS.
•Run/Reinstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology and hopefully you'll have the accelerate tab.
•From here on just follow Intel's instructions on how to enable it.
Please note that all the merit goes to the posts' original autors, I have simply made a quick guide on how to proceed. Use this information at your own risk, playing with BIOS or software without knowing it's inner workings may be cathastrophic. You're warned.
I didn't find infos about RAID mode on ver. 2.17, but I think there is or it's possible to inject into.
This is the Bios v.2.17 modded file to flash eeprom at UEFI :

Now I will look the 1.08 modify to unlock option, from first look it seems nooped a block-code instructions, but the module is original from 1.08 Acer M3 581TG
