Hey Martin,
switching to UEFI/SecureBoot on Ubuntu 14.04 is not trivial, but also not that hard if you follow this guide:

http://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2011/12/migrating-an-ubuntu-installation-
from-bios-to-uefi/

It's not perfect, but the best one I could find. 
But what do you mean by "keeping Windows"? You certainly don't need Windows to migrate your system to UEFI if you meant that. I only used Windows for flashing the BIOS, nothing else. For switching to UEFI, you just need a bootable Live-USB stick with Ubuntu (or similar).

Concerning the touchpad problems: I disassembled my laptop to a point
that I could inspect the touchpad and then covered everything on its
back (just using clear sellotape) which looked like it could short out
something when it's pressed. My mouse pointer never spazzed out since
then. ACER's quality control isn't the best it seems.

Title:
  Acer Aspire ES1-311-P1D5 won't shutdown after system halted

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 14.10 on my notebook and my system won't shutdown
  after it halted. It worked with Fedora Linux which used Kernel 3.11. I
  tried the four latest Mainline Kernels which didn't work either.
  Currently I am running the latest Kernel from the repos: 3.16.0-25.33

  I tried different kernel parameters like acpi=force and so on, but It
  also didn't work. I am not sure what else to do.

  Reboot also does not work.
