Could you advise me whether these Wi-Fi modules are suitable for upgrade of HP ENVY x360 - 15-cn1003ur?

Hi:

The last two definitely won't work.

The AX210 may work.  You will need to get the non-vPro model.

Another option would be the Wi-Fi 6 AX 200 with this HP part number/SPS number:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro    L35282-005

Thank you for your helpful reply.

Does this laptop have a white list?

You're very welcome.

HP does not release any info regarding what notebooks have or don't have a BIOS whitelist.

What we have found out over the years from others who have installed Wi-Fi cards that were not listed in the service manual is that most notebooks made in 2014 or later don't have a whitelist, but there are isolated exceptions.

I know the AX 201, 211 or 4112 won't work because they are CNVIo 2 cards and your PC only supports the older 9560 AC, which is CNVIo, not CNVIo 2.

Another thing we found out is even if the service manual indicates a card such as an AX211 is supported, and the notebook did not come with one, say for example, it came with a Realtek Wi-Fi card instead, the AX 211 will not work.

Hopefully, the AX 210 non-vPro will work in your notebook with no problem.

Usually, it is described on a retail site as an AX210NV, but if you can get one with this HP part number/SPS #, it is definitely non-vPro.

You can see in this discussion for a different model notebook that did not come with the AX210, that it worked fine.

The notebook has an Intel 8th gen core processor and comes with the same Wi-Fi card as yours did.

Thank you! I have just ordered Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210. Hope it will be compatible.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Below is the link to the service manual which should be of help for opening up the notebook and replacing the Wi-Fi card.

Be extremely careful when removing the thin and delicate antenna wires from the existing card, so that you don't break the terminals off the card and get them stuck inside the antenna wire connectors.
