If you need help replacing the card, check, where you should be able to find an Owner's or Service Manual for your system that will contain full instructions including diagrams for removing and reinstalling every part of the system.

Other than that, make sure you use the latest Intel WiFi drivers and you should be good to go. Second, make sure you get the 7260HMW, not the 7260NGW, since the latter is the M.2 version of the card, which won't fit in your system. I have no idea why Intel used the same model number for two cards with very different capabilities, but they did. First, get the Wireless-AC 7260 rather than Wireless-N 7260, since the latter only supports 802.11n. You'll just need to make sure you get the right version. It's a dual band 802.11ac WiFi card that also uses 2 antennas (but can use both for send and receive, unlike the 1030), and it's the highest-end WiFi card Intel made in half-height mini-card design before they moved over to the M.2 card format that you can't use. In that case, your best option for upgrading would be the Intel Wireless-AC 7260. My GFs laptop has a 1030 wireless NIC and it had running Win7 圆4 with an 'Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030' wireless network adapter. However, in this case I was able to look up the specs of the Wireless-N 1030 and I found that it was only ever offered in a half-height PCIe mini-card version and that it supports two antennas. Dell has offered many XPS system models that fit that description, and sometimes getting a correct answer to your question will require knowing which exact system model you're running. You just said you're using a Dell XPS running Windows 7 with a Core i7 processors. Fyi though when asking technical questions like this, it's always a good idea to identify your specific system model. Performa bervariasi berdasarkan penggunaan, konfigurasi, dan faktor lainnya. Tidak ada produk atau komponen yang sepenuhnya aman. Teknologi Intel mungkin memerlukan dukungan perangkat keras, perangkat lunak, atau aktivasi layanan. Yes, upgrading your WiFi card is indeed possible and is actually quite common. Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030, Pita Tunggal.
