Intel Wireless-AC 9260 compatibility with MSI GT72S

[JPowe5]

Hello -

I am looking to install a new wireless card on my laptop and was wondering if the Intel Wireless-AC 9260 is compatible with MSI GT72S 6QE Dominator laptop. The laptop is running a 6th Gen Skylake GTX980M. Many thanks for your help!

You will need to ask MSI regarding this support/compatibility.

There are regulatory requirements:
