Where did you read that? If you are talking about the blurb with the Intel AX200 Desktop Kit, it is saying you need at least Windows 10; it doesn't say anything about 10th gen processors being necessary. Easy to get confused though.
If you had a system designed for the use of the CNVi-based AX201, AX211, AX411 or BE201 modules, then you would indeed need later generation processors -- but this is only because the processor must interface with the chipsets that are necessary to support the CNVi (CNVio2, CNVio3) connections to these modules. Since you don't have any of those chipsets, you don't have any of these processor requirements.
BTW, I have in the past used AX200 and AX210 modules and am currently using a BE200 module -- and this is in a 4th gen system (Core i7-4770 processor). Everything works just great.

According to the specifications, this motherboard provides a standard M.2 Type E connector, so your choices, depending upon whether you want support for WiFi 6, WiFi 6E or WiFi 7, are the AX200NGW, AX210NGW or BE200NGW, respectively. All of these adapters support Bluetooth 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4, respectively.
What I cannot determine is whether your chassis provides antennas to support these WiFi cards. If the chassis provides nothing, you need a kit that provides this support. Here's a standalone kit. You can also find kits that include the WiFi card as well, saving you a few dollars: AX200NGW Kit, AX210NGW Kit, or BE200NGW Kit.
Hope this helps,

First of all thank you so much for the answer! OMG! Really this pc with i3-8100 is compatible with the AX200 module??? Because i've read it's for 10th gen and newest only. I want this kit: Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) Desktop Kit, AX200, 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, vPro® but for 8th gen maybe is better the model: Intel AC 9560... Or not? Sorry for my doubts and thank you again!
