EliteBook 840 G1
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hello... I currently have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 that has a Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 card. I am looking to upgrade the card to support AC. I have been told to be very careful on choosing a card because of the BIOS Whitelist. Can someone from HP please advise me which card to get so I don't have any issues with the upgrade. If you need my serial number, please let me know and I can send it in private message.

 

Thanks
