Ideapad Z370 wireless network adapter upgrade?

I'm considering upgrading the wireless card for my laptop. Currently using an Ideapad Z370 running Windows 10 64bit (Happy to provide any additional information). I'm looking to upgrade to an ac card to get better speed from my wifi. I currently have my eyes on the Intel 7260.HMWG.R Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 but I'm not entirely sure my device supports it. If it doesn't or there's a better performing option, any recommendations would be appreciated. As I understand it, some manufacturers also have whitelists built into the BIOS. I've also come across guides that say to ensure the new card has the same about of adapters as the old but I'm not entirely sure how to confirm this.

I've asked on the Lenovo support forum but gotten no response.
