I have a Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n wifi adapater in this unit. I want to make use of my 5G network and need a dual band wifi card. Does this unit come with two antennas so this is possible without installing a second one myself?

Thank you for the additional information, @Skyscope.
I misread your question. It sounded to me like you wanted to know if you could add a second antenae to the existing card to make it dual band.
@Skyscopewrote:Thats not the question. I know I need a new dual band adapter. The question is does the PC have two antennas installed in it? Two are required for a dual band adapter.
The answer to your question is, No! The antenae normally come with the wifi adapter.

@Skyscope, welcome to the forum.
You have to buy a new AC wifi wireless adapter. There is no way to add dual band to the one that you have installed.
