Yes you can plug your laptop's card in your PC using a mPCI-E to PCI-E adapter.

Probably can’t do that but look online like on eBay, Amazon etc you can find usb WiFi adapters and USB Bluetooth adapters for just a few dollars. In fact I use a USB Bluetooth adapter to connect a wireless Xbox controller to my pc.

Example of a Bluetooth adapter

Or it looks like you can get an internal card like this for example that should work.

But there are a plethora of options.

If you wonder which adapter to buy, this one will do the job for both Wireless and Bluetooth.

The card is smaller than desktop cards but Wireless and Bluetooth specs are the same (industry standard).
