Hi all,
I want to upgrade the wifi card in my laptop. I was thinking of upgrading to one of the Intel cards.
Thinking of this one:
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 wlan adapter
Will this work on my laptop?
Also, I think my laptop has an M.2 slot inside but I really can't find it in the spec sheet. Can anyone confirm that I can upgrade it with an M.2 SSD?
Kind regards,
Erik

For the WiFi and M.2 SSD:
Remove the Bottom Cover and see if you have 2 antenna and that there is an M.2 slot.

For the M.2 SSD I was talking about this video. It seems that it is the same laptop as me so do I have the option too?

Thank you REO51ST,
This basically confirms everything I need to know. Thank you for sending me the remove/replace video's Judging from those video's I can see that it has the options for the M.2 and the wifi card.
Kind regards,
Erik
