This is the wifi/bluetooth card in my old pc, and I am wondering how/if I could transfer this to my new pc with a Asrock b550m steel legends motherboard. Does this card have to be plugged in with those small wire things? Does the motherboard have those? Or do I have to remove them from my old pc and attach it to my new one somehow?

You have to install it in the slot on the board marked M2 WIFI. The antennas have to be installed on the points on the bottom of the card. They are more inserted than plugged in. Those leads are for your antenna that you run the cables and install outside of the case.

your motherboard has a slot dedicated to cards like these.

The little wire things are antenna extensions, and you'll need them, there are also holes for them in your IO shield to screw them in.

@OP.

You may want to consider upgrading to Intel 8265 or better. You can get them cheap on EBAY.

For the price/performance a WIFI 6 card makes sense. If not a 9260
