HP Recommended
Product: HP-BW536AU
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, My laptop is HP-BW536AU which has AMD A6-9220 processor, 16GB ram. I'm hoping to to upgrade my WIIFI + Bluetooth m.2 card in my laptop to a newer version of WIFI and Bluetooth card in order to get better connection.

 

Currently I have :- Intel Model 3168NGW (aka WIFI 4, check the images i attached)

Hoping to upgrade to : Intel Model AX210NGW (aka WIFI 6E, link : https://www.ebay.com/itm/334058800871?epid=14048166185&hash=item4dc774c6e7:g:6D4AAOSw6YJg27VI)

 

But I came to know that when you upgrading WIFI card you have to worry about "BIOS WHITELIST" in order to upgrade it safely with your device specially in HP and Lenovo. Otherwise the bios will not allow your new hardware to integrate with you system.

 

So, is this matter valid these or it's just a regulation which used in past. May I be able to upgrade it safely with the given product link ? If anyone have suggestions please reply with a link where it can be bought. Current WFI and Bluetooth Module.jpg
