Hello CPosa1,

Thank you for contacting Intel® Memory & Storage Support.

To better understand your current configuration, please review and provide us with the following information:

•  A screenshot of the “Disk Management” showing all the storage devices. To access the disk manager you can choose from the following two ways:

# 1: Open it from the Quick Access Menu.

o  Right-click the bottom-left corner (or Start button) on the desktop to open Quick Access Menu, and then choose Disk Management.

# 2: Access Disk Management via Run.

o  Use Windows+R to open Run, type “diskmgmt.msc” in the empty box and tap OK.

•  Please let us know if the Optane memory and the OS came preinstalled with your Acer* laptop.

•  We strongly advise you to open a ticket in parallel with Acer* to get further assistance regarding compatibility and your BIOS configuration.

We will be looking forward to your reply to further assist you.

Best regards,

Uhh, this is my disk management below. Also, yes the laptop did come preinstalled with the optane memory. Although it was later rebooted...

Hello CPosa1,

Thank you for your reply.

Based on the screenshot you shared of your “Disk Management” seems to be that the “Disk 0” is not partitioned correctly to use Optane since the unallocated space is in the middle of the system partitions and not at the end.

Please follow the “Unsupported System Drive: Last Partition Unable to Resize Error” article (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024253.html) to try to solve this issue.

We advise you to contact your OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Acer* in your case, to get further assistance on how to set up your OS and BIOS to be able to activate the Optane acceleration in your PC.

We hope you find this information helpful. If you need further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best regards,

Hello CPosa1,

Thank you for your reply.

If you are not able to boot to your OS, we advise you to run the Windows* recovery options (https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options). 

We strongly advise you to contact your OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Acer* in your case, to get further assistance on how to set up your OS and BIOS to activate the Optane acceleration in your PC.

No further assistance required, I consulted with ACER Tech support. Apparently the problem is within the disk drive itself. Apologies for being inactive in this post.
