Why do you want to update? Unless you are having problems you should not update the BIOS, BIOS flashing is risky. Try a BIOS directly from acer: http://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/drivers (search your model product number then click on BIOS)

The problem arises because you're trying to update a legacy (non-UEFI) BIOS (v1.xx) with a UEFI BIOS (v2.xx).
The UEFI updates are only for Acer laptops that shipped with Windows 8 pre-installed, (so that doesn't include Windows 8 upgrades).

Laptops that shipped with Windows 7 are to use the v1.xx BIOS updates only (even if you've upgraded to Windows 8).

Only those laptops that shipped with Windows 8 can use the v2.xx UEFI updates.

So, in a nutshell, your laptop already has the latest version that's compatible with it's non-UEFI BIOS.

No you cannot install a new BIOS, your laptop already has the latest version that is compatible. What ram did you change to?
