Hello, I have a problem with your HP ProBook 4530s. I need to replace the WiFi card, I question whether the card Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 will it work? Maybe someone knows about it and give me an answer? Thank you in advance. Regards Adrian. Or maybe someone has a suggestion what other card WIFI under miniPCI-E supports band AC will work on this laptop?

This is not HP Service, just helpful fellow end users first of all. The bad news for you is that the laptop is old enough to have a BIOS whitelist which restricts the wireless cards you are able to install. The list is pretty much frozen in time to what there was when the laptop was new and what HP decided to offer at the time. In your case, the best available wireless card is Part Number 636672-001 Intel Centrino® Advanced-N 6230. This is a dual band 2.4 and 5 ghz card, just not an 802.11ac compliant device.
