He had a M.2 SSD and needed it connected; I set it up today and reinstalled Windows. I had to turn on M.2 Mode in the BIOS to let the system recognize the drive, but it seems to be interfering with the Wi-Fi adapter. Now that Windows is installed, I’m wondering if there’s a workaround for this issue. Thanks ahead!

Have you considered changing the Wi-Fi settings?

Sure, I can help clarify that for you. Could you share more details about what you're referring to?

Transfer Wi-Fi adapter files from another PC, place them on a USB drive, and install on the affected device. You can also adjust whether the Wi-Fi adapter is active or inactive via the UEFI settings.
