Own an old hp dv6-6c05er laptop with WiFi module Broadcom BCM94313HMGB on Win10 wanted to upgrade to WiFi 6E AX210HMW Bluetooth 5.3 Mini PCI-E Wifi card for Intel AX210 5374 and do not know if it will work on it? Which more modern WiFi module will 100% work?

Hi:

 

Your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which blocks the installation of any other model Wi-Fi adapter from working other than the one currently installed in your notebook.

 

Therefore, upgrading the Wi-Fi card, even with an older model is not possible.
