I have a Intel Wifi AX200 as far as I can tell. I have seen more topics about this but I'm not really sure what to do.

On this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-io/wireless-networking.html

There are the following steps:

To install firmware:
  1. Copy the files into the distribution-specific firmware directory, /lib/firmware.
  2. If the directory doesn't work, refer to your distribution documentation.
  3. If you configure the kernel yourself, make sure firmware loading is enabled.

Does this mean I have to put it in /lib64/firmware since I have a 64bit OS?

Also how do I know if the directory works or not? Is it just a single reboot?

The adapter is working on windows, is there any risk of breaking that (I have dual boot)?

I also readed somewhere that after kernel 5 is installed that it should be supported natively. So I prefer that over drivers.

I'm using ubuntu 18.04.03, a folder /lib64 already exists but there is no firmware folder in there. /lib/firmware does exist.
