[SOLVED] Is an Intel Wireless-Ac 9260 card with an M.2 2230 form factor compatible with an MSI B250 pro-VD board?

I have an MSI B250 pro-VD board. I bought an Intel Wireless-Ac 9260 card. I was confused because the board has an M2 slot and the card had an M2 form factor. I have now learned that there are different types of M2 slots. Is this wireless card compatible with my board? It seems like it might fit into the M2 slot or the PCIe slot but, I don't want to force anything. Thanks!

I figured it out with some research. The answer is no. The M2 slot on the B250 pro-VD board is M keyed. The wireless card is A keyed so it will not fit. It look like this adapter will be able to make it work though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017OZQDQ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
