hi, i notice opening my pc that there are 2 clabes, one marked with a M and another with a A, near my wireless board. in my pc i have a "Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter" and only the A cable is connected. Is the M clabe connected to a second antenna and so i can upgrade my board with the 2x2?

Hi:
Yes, you can. I am shocked that there is an extra antenna cable in there.
The 'M' stands for Main and the 'A' stands for Auxiliary.
On wifi cards that have two terminals, they will be labeled Main and Aux, so you can't make a mistake attaching the wrong antenna cable to a terminal.
You may as well try the Intel AX200 non-vPro since your notebook has an Intel processor.
