I have a Pavilion 17 - f053us laptop with a AMD processor. Is it still possible to replace my current adapter card with a AC adapter card? I seen a "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 combo adapter" (only for Intel) and "Broadcom BCM 4352 WLAN 802.11 AC+BT4 2x2HMC" in the maunal. Could I use any of those adapters? Thank you for your time.

The Broadcom is said to be only for 15 inch models.
Broadcom BCM 4352 WLAN 802.11 AC+BT4 2x2HMC for HP Pavilion 15 AMD computer models available for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 724935-005
Not sure why. There is no physical reason the card would not fit and work in your laptop.
Your laptop is not encumered with the dreaded HP whitelist so you can install any version of the wireless card, does not have to be the HP Part number. The Intel cards do not work with AMD processors so the Broadcom "AzureWave" 802.11ac is your best bet.
If you have looked at the Manual you know that this is not a real easy upgrade to do. If you need more help post back.
