fabrymagg, You are very welcome, thank you very much for providing that information.

Just to let you know, when you install the wireless card on a laptop that is what is called "Wireless Integration", and the thing about that process is that there are a lot of components that come into play, like for example: board, Wireless card, drivers, PCI adapters antennas / m.2 port, all those parts need to be compatible for the proper functionality of the Wireless connection. There is also regulatory information about the "Wireless Integration" that you can verify in the following links since there are restrictions depending on you are located to the upgrade that you are looking for:

So, in this case, what we recommend will be to get in contact directly with HP support to check with them directly which are the wireless cards that are fully compatible with their system. Then after that, you can always visit the link below to verify the specifications of the wireless card, based on the models they recommended, to pick one or you can always provide the list here and we will be more than glad to review that list to pick one of them depending on the needs you may have in reference to the performance of the wireless connection. If it is possible for them to install it in the case there is a malfunction after installation:
