Hi. My old laptop won't detect any wireless connections from wifi or bluetooth. I need it to work for drawing tablet. There's no driver support from manufacturer for windows 10. Please suggest best replacement for wifi card if it really can't be help. Thank you

What you are looking for is called a wifi pcie half card. Almost all laptops used to use that format. The modern laptops use m.2 wifi cards. It does make it easier to swap them out but finding newer wifi that is also not a m.2 card is a bit tricky. They do make them. I have found even wifi6e devices.

Read the details to see if they also have bluetooth.

These are kinda a niche market so not a lot of manufactures.

So can any pcie half card be used? The motherboard is 988 pin rPGA
