S12 Upgrade Questions

mikes@guam.net

1. Ram Most things I've found seem to have 16G as most Ram, but one site says it can be upgraded to 64G, but didn't say how?
Was actually looking to go to 32G, but don't want to Buy Ram and find out it will not work.
Just got the machine other day, and GeekBench 6 tests were impressive for CPU, but GPU was a little lower than I was hoping for.
Fully upgraded the Windows 11 and seems to work fine.
2. See info on Ubuntu, but I've got 5 Fedora 37 Linux machines with various AMD Phenom II x6 and x8 CPUs with 16G Ram and 1T SSD drives.
Was looking at upgrading some or all of them, and this might be an option.
Has any test with Fedora Linux been done?

Does the BIOS support F12 or other method to boot from a livecd flash of Fedora?
3. Unit has a 512 NVME disk, but I have a 1G NVME around. What would process be to upgrade it?
Brother had a Acer Predator Helios 500, but it had 2 NVME slots, so installed the 1T in slot and just imaged to the new one.
Seems the New one was about twice the speed of the original one. So major improment.
Only had machine running a few days, but so far looks good.
Thanks.

Hello there,

Thanks for your letter and sorry for the late reply.

1. The machine S12 you are saying is the machine MINIS 12？
Sorry, it just can max up to 16GB, can not support to 64GB.

2. Sorry, the MINIS 12 can not support Linux system because the Network Card will not work, and it will impact the use of your machine.

And you can just get into your BIOS page by entering Delete or F7, F12 can not work.

3. Ok, the SSD max up to 2TB.
After you install the new SSD, you need to install the Win11 system file .
You mean you have installed the new SSD, and now it can work well, right?

Looking forward to your feedback so that we can help you better.

You can unofficially upgrade the computer minimum up to 32GB, 64 GB is also extremely probable but i haven't tested it.
