If you don't see your Model listed which was the case for me Click on Instant Chat. I got a live human being.
I told her my Model Number was GWTN156-5BL and she said that the drivers are the same as GWTN156-2. I also had to give her my serial number.Lastly I asked about the SSD slots, and here's the response I got.
Main slot is PCIe/SATA with a max drive of 256
Secondary slot is SATA with a max drive of 256
For a max total of 512
Please post your, if you were able to stuff a bigger drive into either slot.
Good Luck

I like the feel of it, the metal feeling lid helps it not feel super cheap.
I use it for prepping 3d models for my printer, and it's very good at what I ask it to do.
BTW it does charge via USB c despite it saying data only.

On another note a 512GB SK Hybix p31 nvme did not work and was not detected in either slot.

I'm running Windows 10 LTSC if that matters. Maybe they stripped out somethung I need?

As for Win 10 LTSC, that I'm not sure since I just run the version that came with the laptop.

There is a dependency missing. It turns out ryzenadj needs Visual C++ Redistributable library 2015.

Also, he said he set TDP to 25W but I think he meant 35W. The cTDP range is listed as 12-35W. It seems the laptop is set at 25W so if you want more power you need to set it higher than 25W.

UPDATE: Tried 30W and it is producing a lot of heat but it is doable. I will consider repasting in the future. Found a good video explaining the OC settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brKFHhQ
One person reported they got 256GB Samsung Pro 960 NVME working on primary port only but other NVME drives do not seem to work.

Once I know the model number of the correct AC adapter, I can buy one myself from somewhere else.
My laptop is out of battery now without a charger, so please help. Much appreciated.

According to this https://gatewayusa.com/support.html you can ask for a replacement if you hear buzzing sounds from your adaptor. Just email to [email protected] and ask for a replacement or ask for a way to buy one. I suspect that they are likely to send you one for free because they are not selling them separately. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
The AC adapter doesn't appear to be available so I guess I'll get a USB-C charger.
Thanks bro!

Thanks so much! Same here I couldn't find the exact model anywhere, but I'll go ahead and try to contact Gateway directly.
Will update here whether they'll respond, and/or any outcome.
