I was wondering if anything special is needed wrt installation and how to get the stylus, etc going. According to the shell of the laptop, it appears to have a Wacom device. Is there any place I can read up on this? I am interested in being able to use the tablet features and the stylus.

You have an old Gateway TB120 Tablet PC and this spin is for "Intel Bay Trail-based tablet devices with 32-bit firmwares".   And you're going to try it first?

Is your old Gateway a "Bay Trail-based tablet device"?
