Hi:
That card should work fine, but it has to be the non-vPro version.
Were you able to get the broken terminal pieces out from inside the wifi antenna cables?
It took me about an hour to do that when I broke the terminals off my Intel 7265 wifi card on a desktop PC.

Hi Paul! in first place thank you so much for you response, i will order the piece right away(of course the non-vpro version)
about the pieces, i could take them off (i think completely) but just to make sure i was thinking in ordering new cables as well, just in case i broke mine in the middle.
have a nice weekend

You're very welcome.
Most likely the terminals are broken off inside the antenna 'cups.'
I used a jeweler's loupe, a needle nose pliers and a sewing needle to pry the broken pieces out from under the connectors.
They were not damaged, snapped right onto the Intel 9260 card I bought, and it worked just fine.
I can't believe how thin and delicate the cables are.
You have a nice weekend too and good luck with the upgrade.
