Not sure if it matters but I have Libreboot installed. It’s the slot located next to the drive slot.

Also any other upgrade recommendations while I’m at it? I have maxed out the RAM and have an SSD. I am wondering if I should upgrade the WiFi card. I don’t know if there are any limitations there.

    Makes sense. Do you think card pictured below would be alright spec-wise?

      I found that card looking online and it appears to be an intel chipset on an mPCIe board. Assuming it’s legit and works right then that should work perfectly. Assuming.

      Original comment that’s only slightly relevant.

      It’s AX and it should work but I’m not sure what chipset it uses. I’d generally only ever stick to Intel wireless cards. I’ve had experience with a number of 6e cards from other brands and nothing comes close to a proper Intel card. My laptops all have the AX201 and x210 cards, but they all have M.2 slots.

        Thank you for all your help. I placed an order for a AX210 HMW.
