Windows 10: White-listing a Mini-PCIe card to work on Lenovo

So as you may know HP & Lenovo/IBM has an odd policy of white listing only few models of Wifi cards for a reason that they vaguely explain that they pay dear money to license each replacement card with FCC where i am not really sure why this trend only applies to just both of them but then i guess seeing that they sell their licensed cards at 150$ where intel marks them at 20~25$ tops might hint is all about corporate greed .

I came to all these information as i tried to upgrade to an affordable wireless ac card that was only about 21$ where i found that my only options were either to pay same amount to get a used licensed one that is 7 generations behind with basic features or the very same legacy licensed card only new from Lenovo costing 150$ where i doubt selling the laptop itself used would grant as much .

So basically i did my research and found that this had been on for a while and there are few options that surfaced , where either we dump our bios files and head to the deep web and ask a hacker to modify bios for us to remove white lists check , which while sounding pretty much disturbing is the favorite choice of all or trying to replace the new chip ids by older one's which would trick bios into believing its whitelisted and boot .

The only set back into such solution is that it all revolves around Linux and i cant really say i could follow any of these tutorials as they require good knowledge of Linux .

The trick is simple in nature , you run certain command that retrieves your current chip id then download and install another command that would allow editing chips ids then rather switch cards while laptop is booted as to bypass the whitelist check then do the replace ids .

Now my question , anybody know how this can be done in windows world ?

Cheap Photo box that will get the job done

WEll i took on this project for PP hes a hardware reviewer and wants to get the professional looking pics for the Pc parts

Materials:

• Big cardboard box
