Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. It will be easier to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop.
