There's an empty M.2 slot, which can accept a 2280 form factor "gumstick" NVME SSD (but not a SATA M.2). Spend $40 more to get one & make it as the system drive. It will greatly improve the performance of this laptop.
The 1TB "old" HDD could be kept and used as media storage…

AND: This is a 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processor, so you will probably need this also.
No drives were found during Windows Installation during Setup

Most people don't need to change the hard drive.
That's generally for people whom view, edit, store, create videos or music on their hard drive.
Most people just stream on the browser.
Think I will add a new hard drive, plus I'll have a ton of storage. And still spend under $500
The Bluetooth and other components do not need to be updated. If you set up you're gear accordingly or use adequate electronics you won't encounter any connection problems.

The laptop has no apparent blemishes. I installed a NVME SSD (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V7GT6F3). Downloaded Win11 to an USB Stick. Downloaded Intel Storage Drivers onto USB. Used F10 to load BIOS menu. Set to boot from USB. Loaded Intel Drivers. Deleted all partitions. Installed Win 11 to NVME SSD. Ran Windows update and Intel Support Assistant.
Everything appears to be working.
Laptop is cheap, but nice. Compared to my other laptops (more $$$), I miss the fingerprint reader; extra USBs and a Display Port. The display is nice.

The Gateway is a mid-tier laptop that comes with a ssd already installed, more ram, better networking hardware and a fingerprint scanner BUT only a 14" display.
A fair comparison for this laptop would be Lenovo Legion deal. Also a 17" display, but for the extra $250 you're getting:
A slightly better display (300 nits vs 250)
Pre-installed ssd for those squirmish about installing and reimaging.
Better networking (Wi-Fi 6 11ax, 2x2 + BT5.1 vs Realtek RTL8821CE-M 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 4.2 combo)
Better graphics card (can run games at medium settings vs. not a gaming GPU)
Better keyboard (also backlit)
Ports galore:
3x USB 3.2 Gen 1
1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Always On)
1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (support data transfer and DisplayPort 1.4)
1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (support data transfer, Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4)
1x HDMI 2.1
1x Card reader
1x Ethernet (RJ-45)
1x Headphone / microphone combo jack (3.5mm)
1x Power connector
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!!
I've tried fresh install of both windows 10 and 11 as well as the drivers without success. Finally gave up and started a return. Liked everything else except regular hdd which is an easy fix so not too happy about spending all this time troubleshooting then returning it.
