Upgrade

[MrHartz]

Hi. I was wondering if i could upgrade to the intel wi-fi 6 AX200? And if can get a samsung 970 or 980 NVMe 1TB? Maybe the Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB?

Best regards

Hello MrHartz,

>Hi. I was wondering if i could upgrade to the intel wi-fi 6 AX200?

Any card will do that is designed to work with your operating system. The connector and the size of the card should fit, so your first step is to take a look at the installed card and measure the dimension of the card.

>And if can get a samsung 970 or 980 NVMe 1TB? Maybe the Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB?

See the service manual, from page 42

M.2 1TB (Terrabyte) maximum

M.2: 1TB maximum

So if it's the same size, it will work?

Hello MrHartz again,

yes it should work.

To feel better, update your Bios to 01.55 Rev.A:

Thank you so much. But do you know if I can upgrade to wifi 6?

Hi MrHartz,

thank you. My pleasure to help you.

Let's take a deeper look at the wifi case:

In the service manual page 44 you will see 2 modules ... so the 8260 is installed.

Description                                 | Spare part number

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260            | 806721-002

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (non-vPro) | 806722-002

best regards

Hello MrHartz,

from the service manual (page 44) your current card is this:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/86068/intel-dual-band-wirelessac-8260.html

You want to go for this new model:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/189347/intel-wifi-6-ax200-gig.html

See the Compare View of the old and new wifi card ( very useful ! )

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=189347,86068

=> technically identical for the installation

So new wifi card will fit !

😀 go for it 😀

best regards

And one of them can and one can not?

Thank you so much:D I will  order it right away:)

Have a nice day
