Yes, you just order an adapter on eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress or similar. The connector the card in the picture uses is mPCI-E, so you need something like e.g. the following:

You may want to also look at a usb wireless card, depending on pricing and availability in your region it may be cheaper to get one of those than getting the adapter
