Hi

Not good news I suspect, the internet reports............

""The latest and final official driver for the Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 is version 18.33.17.1, which is included in the Intel Wireless Driver package version 21.10.1. This is the most up-to-date driver available for this wireless card, as Intel has discontinued support and no longer provides new updates or direct downloads for this adapter.""

Intel Final 18.33.17.1 ~2019 (in 21.10.1) Fixes for Wi-Fi 6 routers, final release
Dell M4800 18.11.0.8 July 2015 Older, lacks latest bug fixes

Go to the Microsoft Update Catalog and search for "Wireless-AC 7260" or "7260 18.33.17.1"

Dell provides a package containing the 18.33.17.1 driver for the 7260, as well as for related adapters.

The other places are harder to verify as 'safe' enough to recommend.

Source Driver Version OS Supported Direct Download Available Notes
Microsoft Update Catalog 18.33.17.1 Win 7/8/8.1/10/11 Yes Official, manual install via Device Manager
Dell Support 18.33.17.1 Win 10 (various) Yes Installer package, includes other models
Intel Community Archive   ??? 18.33.17.1 Win 7/8/8.1/10/11 Yes Includes Bluetooth driver
DriverHub/Other Aggregators 18.33.17.1 Win 7/8/8.1/10/11 Yes Use with caution, verify file integrity
