It's far easier just to buy the adaptor as I've done as that means you can install the software your selft which takes two minutes and plug in the adaptor. Why transport your machine over there? Plus the charge of laber and the internal wireless card. It doesn't make sense to me. You would be saving around £50 by doing it the way I have suggested and it achieves the same outcome.

YES you can just take your computer to your local computer shop and ask them to fit a wireless card.
