Update: thanks to a recent comment, I realized that I did not really touch on the topic of M.2 Key. Short answer, if your MB has a designated m.2 slot for Wifi, then go ahead with this upgrade; If you want to put this AX200 card (key E) into an M.2 slot for SSDs(Key B or M, or B+M), then no they are NOT compatible. The incompatibility comes at two reasons: 1. key location different, cannot insert 2. physical dimension issue, AX200 is 2230 size thus no mounting screw hole on m.2 slots designed for SSDs (2242, 2280, 22110); The best option for users without native Key E M.2 slot for wifi, is a cheap PCIe 1.0 adapter bundle with the adapter, antennas, and cables included.

In this episode TT shares the reasons and process of installing Intel AX200 WiFi6 BT5.0 M.2 Key E NGFF card module. The Intel AX200 is a highend M.2 wireless card which is supposed to be an OEM part for PC and laptop manufacturers(usually found on highend motherboards and laptops with a premium as of March 2020), however consumers can get them cheap through online sources and benefit from WiFi6 + BT5.0 very easily. This is a fantastic solution if your gaming laptop came with a low end or unstable wireless card, or if your motherboard does not have wireless out of box but has empty Key E M.2 or PCIE x1 slot (PCIE adapter needed). Just make sure to get the correct antennas and extension adapter cables for the antennas.
Example board in video is AsRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4, non-WiFi.
