I have this 15-bl050 (Z6K99EA#ABU). I really like the machine for my needs and the 4k screen is beautiful. Serving me well for years.
I recently upgraded the ram to 32gb and the machine is great again for the 2025 demands i put on it
My home rooter is wifi 6, and should get upgraded later this year to 6e
My current wifi card is intel 8265gw
I would like to upgrade; intel ax210 spec and price seems good
But... I'mstruggling to work out which variant i need or if there a better value module on the market.
I would like to buy in UK market.
WIll this work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AX210NGW-MU-MIMO-Tri-Band-
things ive checeked:
- M.2 2230 slot
- on latest bios available
- powershell pcu device check doesnt seem to have whitelisting
- bios whitelist check is clear too
Note also planning on upgrading to windows 11. Currently my cpu is holding it back so i need to find a get around potentially:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2904 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Any help is appreciated, ty

Hi:
If the notebook doesn't have a BIOS whitelist the card you picked out should work.
The Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro HP part # M27269-005, is the non-vPro model which is what you need and the SPS # on Amazon's picture of the card matches the HP part #.
If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.
How to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC in 2025 (New Easiest Method, No CMD)
Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).
You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.
You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.
Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.
That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

So I received my ordered from amazon.

Or this good?

sps: m27269-005 0G
Just figured that intel spying on me and wanting my data; they only want to vaccinated me and make me infertile.
I'm unsure yet what the chineese gov spying on me want to do with me yet
