For the benefit of the Forum, I can answer my own question. Yes, I was able to install Windows 11 on an AK3V (but as a fresh install and not via Windows 11 Upgrade). So it was of course a clean disk install. But no big deal as there was nothing on there that I could not easily reinstall. The support person referenced in this Forum sent me the necessary instructions and links to do it.

I have an ACEPC GK3V (Intel Celeron J4125, 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM) purchased in December 2020 at AMAZON and want to upgrade to Windows 11.
My current BIOS screen shows the following data:
BIOS Information
BIOS Vendor American Megatrend
Core Version 5.13
Compliancy UEFI 2.7; PI 1.6
Project Version 1AUAJ 0.38 x64
Build Date and Time 09/22/2020 16:45:19
Can you please advise what BIOS update files I should use to enable upgrade to Windows 11.
Thanks
I have a similar system (branded as AK3 Mini PC, but the rest of the specs seem to be the same). Can you please provide more information on how I can upgrade to/install Windows 11 on this machine? Thank you!
