Your laptop supports dual-band Wi-Fi upgrades. The Intel Lynx Point-LP chipset is compatible with Qualcomm Atheros AR956x adapters. You can install a dual-band adapter to enable both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

It's a small PCIe slot. If you install another mPCIe WiFi card that matches the size (like the one you have) and your operating system supports it, then yes
