That's an M.2 card and won't work without some sort of adapter. I don't think any adapter would physically fit.

The actual card in that picture is the half height one you'd need. The bracket makes it full height.
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.
