Where is it, I don't see it but if there's no socket for it it's not removable.

Doesn't look like it is socketed, why do you want to remove it ?

It's in a mini pci-e socket.

The plastic holder should come off when you remove the screw holding it and the card.

Remove the retaining screw. You should be able to remove the plastic cover and extract the WiFi card from the mini-PCIe slot.

They are not the same. Physically mini pic-e is wider 30mm vs m.2 which is 22mm.
