Most new Wifi 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. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop.
