Interesting thread in the link you provided. It is always nice when another member confirms that a WiFi adapter works in a specific notebook.
The Intel ProSet Software and driver will not have a negative effect on anything. It will improve your WiFi experience with the adapter.

What is the product name or product number of your notebook?
Was the wireless card one that listed as an option in the Maintenence & Service guide for your notebook?
If the card works in your laptop I would highly recommend that you use the Intel version of the software annd drivers.
You will notice that the wireless sensitivity improves vastly with the Intel ProSet software.

Which Envy 17?
There are many.
The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see This HP web document if you don't how to locate the model number and\or product number.
How about answering my questions from my previous post.
I am not suggesting that you purchase or install anything until you check to make sure you are not spending money on a wifi adapter that isn't compatible with your notebook.

It seems we must be looking at different manuals. You still have not proviuded the complete product name or product number of your Envy 17 notebook.
The following wireless adapters are shown as optionally installed in the manual for the Envy 17 and Envy 17 Touchscreen manual I found while using the generic identification you provided. The 7260 b/g/n that you describe is not listed as supported by the Envy 17 notebook that the HP Maintenence & Service guide covers. At this point I would say that purchasing that adapter particular adapter is a risk. My objective is to help yiou not make a mistake and purchase an adapter that simply is not compatible with your notebook. If your choice is to hide your notebooks specifications by not providing me with the complete product name or product number, then that is your own choice.
My last HP loaner notebook was an Envy 17 series notebook from 2013. Envy notebooks change, as do the optional adapters and features.
