So I bought this laptop over a year ago and driver support has been non-existent. After reinstalling Windows 11 I noticed that the drivers are very proprietary. Touchscreen, touchpad, network connectivity (wifi, Bluetooth) all didn’t work after a fresh install. So I had to get in touch with “Gateway” customer support. As we all know the Gateway USA we all know and love is long gone. This is a Chinese company that bought the rights to the brand and is basically remodeled crap. After a few days, I finally got the drivers.
This will expire and I don’t have the bandwidth right now to host it on my own. If it expires, reach out to me and I will reupload for you.

Hi, Alan- Are you able to dig up and host those drivers for the GWTC71427 laptop for me?
I’m having a heck of a time getting them from GATEWAY!
I appreciate your time/effort to accomodate!

I am in the same boat as everyone else who thought I could just reinstall. I have no drivers. Another link please? Thank you

The Realtek audio driver is no longer on my Gateway GWTC51427-BK laptop. Is it possible that you could provide a link for this?
Thank you for your time.

Good afternoon! Would you be able to provide an updated link for these drivers? I’m having to reinstall Windows 11 and am unable to connect to a network to get past one of the initial steps due to it not seeing any avail wifi networks and want to attempt to install drivers via cmd prompt to resolve. Thanks so much in advance, I appreciate you and wish you a wonderful day!
