Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to upgrade to WiFi 6 802.11AX. Can I swap out WLAN Module and replace with 

Authentic Intel AX200NGW Wireless Card, Wi-Fi 6 11AX WiFi Module 2 x 2 MU-MIMO Dual Band Wireless Card with Bluetooth 5.1 Internal WiFi Adapter Support Windows 10 64bit, M.2/NGFF

I realize the drivers would need updating but is their a BIOS update required? Thanks.
