Hi DrOptiks,
it worked like a charm: Although the Wi-Fi card which was already installed hat two notches (key A and key E, maybe see here), the socket itself could hold both types of cards since it was key E and those Wi-Fi cards are either key E or key A+E.
Therefore I just put the new card...
It just got interesting, maybe I was excited too early:

The one I bought has a notch less: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~u8AAOSwh1paBdk0/s-l1600.jpg...

Thanks a lot!
Actually I read parts of the FAQ. The thing is that I still would be able to return the notebook beforce dumping 30$ on the wrong wifi module so that's why I was so over cautious.

Any ideas which card I could use? I find a lot of cards which are said to be compatible with different Lenovo laptops but mine was nowhere mentioned...
Hey dronefriend,
I just bought a Ideapad 710s-13ISK (Skylake) and I am wondering how I choose the right WIFI module. I just learnend that Lenovo does some kind of whitelisting of these cards so any help here would be gladly appreciated since I don't wanna buy dozens of wrong cards until I'm...
