I have HP Probook 440 g8 which currently has realtek rtl8822ce and wanting to upgrade to Intel AX210. On my laptop specs it says "Form Factor PCI-Express M.2 MiniCard with CNVi Interface" based on this document. does it mean it will work on my laptop?

All that can be said in general is that there have been a number of instances where M.2 connectors with CNVi support would not host non-CNVi cards. That this Realtek card is working is a good sign, however. Still, if I was presented with this connector, I would go with the versions of the card that was designed to take advantage of it, namely the AX211. You could even consider the AX411, which offers additional throughput capabilities. Al is correct, however, you need to consult with your laptop vendor regarding what their design will support.

Hope this helps,

You need to consult with HP regarding what is compatible with their hardware and wifi integration.

so It works, I also considered the AX411 and AX211 but after some googling, they only work on Intel 12th gen processor, mine is 11th gen.  I can say the AX210 is a lot better than my last Realtek card
