Hi:

 

It would be impractical to do so, since the currently installed Realtek RTL8821CE wifi card your notebook comes with only has a single antenna wire connected to it, and an AX wifi card would require two.

 

You would need to completely disassemble the notebook including the display panel to properly run a second antenna wire.
