Just replaced my old WIFI/BT card in my VAIO T21, now 10 years old with this WiFi 6E Wireless Card, https://amazon.com/dp/B09P1B55JQ?psc=1&r.... Combined with adding a new 1TB SSD for my data drive (C: is already an SSD), my SVT21 is better than new. If only I could find a guide to upgrade the Core I5 processor with an I7.

Thanks, Mauricio, for the guide.
