    Hi, I have the inspiron 15" 7000 series 7537
    I wanted to install an egpu for my laptop, since it's stationary.
    I was wondering how others who did this did it. I will be buying the dock and I have a power supply already. I have an old GPU to make sure that It will work, before investing in a nicer one.
    So I am wondering if I could take out the wireless card or swap it out and convert that m.pcie slot into a slow for an external graphics. I would still be able to use the WiFi through a usb adapter, which is much smaller, so all I would forgo is the Bluetooth which I don't use.
    for the adapter I would use something like this

    Again, just want somebody to confirm or invalidate this as a working option, as i haven't seen anything on the web regarding this on this particular laptop

    Did you ever attempt this and did it work? I am trying to do this myself currently.
