Wifi card upgrade issue
Had a wifi card lying around and decided to check if my HP Envy could use the upgrade.
old Card (left): Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 1x1
"new" Card (right): Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 2x2 MU-MIMO
my laptop has 2 antenna cables so it should've been a quick in and out upgrade...
or so I thought...
HP says the card isn't supported even when they're both intel cards.
Model: HP ENVY 15-ae132tx
laptop specs:
i7-6500U
16GB DDR3
GTX 950M 4GB
256GB M.2 SATA
1TB HDD
it's a nice laptop even for it's age, but HP seems to not like people messing around with the laptops THEY BOUGHT
