I also have a Lenovo m73 tiny with UEFI BIOS & WINDOWS 10.... current BIOS Rev is 60. I'm trying to swap an Intel Centrino 105n for an Intel Dual band 7260N + bluetooth 4.0. I'm more of a hardware guy I've already modded the motherboard and added the appropriate Bluetooth LQFN and associated circuitry, as this particular motherboard has an option for this very same wireless card and Bluetooth combo, as well as several other features which had I known at the time I would have just gotten see better Lenovo tiny. I currently have the M 73 with no internal or external optical drive, however I have several PSU's and fans and SATA to USB translators that are serving me fairly well in terms of using multiple OS's and DVD drives and backup solid state drives. I'm just not a software guy and I cannot get past this stupid freaking BIOS whitelist!! I'm sitting here with the Dell 1535 Inspiron laptop motherboard in my lap, because I bought it brand new and in two years I think it has actually been functional for about 5 weeks total!! During one of the three times that I sent it back to Dell and they supposedly swap the entire motherboard because of "total processor failure" I went and bought this one over to get me through, and I've actually grown kind of attached to it all except for the fact that I'm stuck with this wireless 105N mini PCIe card! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks to all who help in advance, and like I said I'm a pretty good hardware guy and have a degree in Electronics Engineering so might be able to swap out some services....
