Is that your model?

It is PCI-E but the case is only half-height, so a full length wireless card isn't going to fit.

You might do better with a USB wireless card in all honesty.

You might be able to use a M.2 internal card instead, depending on the mainboard.
My preference would be PCI-E half-height, rather than USB.

I'll run Belarc and report back.

There should be a M.2 slot for the WiFi card

Thanks. Can you recommend a value for money card? Perhaps from Amazon as I have prime.

Amazon is usually much more expensive and has less items, when it comes to PC parts.
I have found this on eBay that seems to be compatible with your system: link
But before you buy it, open your computer and make sure that the M.2 slot is available and that any keys (the spaces in the connector) and length match with the card you are buying.

Thanks. Not splitting hairs over £2 but is it the same as 8265NGW (first hit on amazon, cant post link). I can have this del for £20 over weekend.
