you could add a WiFi card like that. After all the NVME slot is just a PCI-E x4 interface, but then you likely wouldn't have a decent antenna in there for the second card. You can see the Antenna cables coming of the Wi-Fi card in your picture and it likely goes up into the screen assembly for a better signal.

How do you plan to attach the antennas? Do you want to route the cables through the chassis of the laptop? 

 

Why don't you just use a USB WiFi Dongle?
