    Are you sure it's not a Lenovo one?
    It usually looks like this when you put a Lenovo Wi-Fi card in non-Lenovo laptop.

    You'll have to return it.
    It will work only in Linux but not in Windows (for some reason)

    No you can't. There are some switched pins if I remember correctly.
    You could fix it only with open drivers- that's why it works in Linux.

    That's the point- there are no open drivers for Windows.

    Anyway- as far as I know you can't fix it.
    If you can try to return it or get a non-Lenovo replacement from the same seller.
