What wifi 7 module will support my gaming laptop please?

Oh don't get me wrong. I do really appreciate all of your help. I have decided to go for the BE200NGW. I just hope it's fully WiFi 7 compliant. Thanks again

Please post back and let us know how your notebook's wifi card upgrade project went.

Good morning:

One thing I forgot to mention and that is regarding to make sure you do this before installing the BE200:

Before you install the BE200 make sure that you first uninstall both the Intel AX211 Wi-Fi adapter and driver in the device manager as well as the Intel Bluetooth adapter and driver, as well as the Intel Bluetooth software in the Windows control panel.

Sometimes removing the card without doing that first causes major driver conflicts with the new card.

Then you can shut down the PC, unplug it and follow the rest of the installation guidance I posted.

These would be the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers for the Intel BE200.

Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

You can save them now and then after you install the BE200 Wi-Fi card, you can install them.

I don't know if Windows already contains a default driver for the BE200.

It may be too new.

I did the upgrade other day and let me tell you I had to remove the battery, removed heatsink and pipes to access the wifi module. Jeeze HP next time design a gaming laptop that the wifi module has its own maintenance hatch please. I had to reuse HP thermal paste as I didn't have any at hand when reassembly. There's also white cream stuff all over the other chips (What's that?) I put it back together and black screen (oh bugger) I was about to turn off when the "bios is updating, don't turn off" (phew 😌) I thought I broke it and I was very careful as I have upgraded PC's and laptops before. Now it's working great and detects the new module WiFi 7 intel BE200. I did notice before disassemble that my temps CPU were getting 93 so I will replace thermal paste on the CPU, GPU to bring those down. Arctic MX6 alright? Thanks again for your help and the links to the be200 drivers. Successful just need to install my WiFi 7 router now. I have installed windows 11 22H.
