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.
