A bit OCD question, bear with me.
I have an old Samsung laptop (Q530 model), which still perform perfectly fine for basic tasks (i3 350m and nvidia 510m).
With Microsoft ceasing security support for Windows 7 i needed to update the OS to windows 10.
The issue was that this line of Samsung laptops has an internal Broadcom wi-fi and bluetooth mini PCI-E module incompatible with windows 10 because of the BIOS (it causes a rebooting loop).
After some online research, I have find out that the only solution was physically removing the internal mini wi-fi module, perform the update and then installing a different brand one.
I didn't have time to buy a new internal wi-fi module, so I simply removed the old one by opening the laptop lid, unplugging the two antenna wires and unscrewing the mini PCI-E card.
Now I'm using an external usb dongle wi-fi adapter for internet connection: the laptop updated perfectly to windows 10 and now works with no issues.
My question is: is there any possible health risk/concern related to using the laptop without the native internal wi-fi module installed? I'm referring to possible unwanted radio emissions from the laptop operating with the antenna wires unplugged to a module.
To my knowledge, after removing the mini wi-fi module, the antenna wires are simple wires that have no way of emitting radio frequencies, but I want to be sure I'm not missing something.
Thanks in advance for the help.
