There are hundreds of Gateway laptop models, with a variety of chassis and disassembly methods. it is quite possible that the processor isn't even removable. Without further information as to the model of your laptop, only generic instructions can be given below.

  1. Remove the bottom cover(s) of your laptop. Hopefully, your CPU is easily accessible. otherwise, you'll have to disassemble your laptop more thoroughly.
  2. Remove the heatsink.
  3. Remove the processor (if even possible).
  4. Install new processor.
  5. Apply thermal paste.
  6. Reinstall heatsink.
  7. Replace cover.
