I was hoping the Service Manual would indicate that, but it doesn’t seem to. This thread shows pictures of them side by side though, so if you want to open up your system, you can see which you have: communities.intel.com/.../60858
Mini PCIe = HMC, which Intel identifies with HMW in the model name.
M.2 = NGFF, which Intel identifies with NGW in the model name.
If your N7110 uses a Mini-PCIe slot, the best card you can get is the Intel 7260AC, but make sure you get the HMW version, not the NGFF version. If your system uses an M.2/NGFF slot, I would recommend the Intel 8265.

Thank you! Can you tell me how to determine what kind of slot I have?
