Prefect, thank you @Paul_Tikkanen.

I would try the same model, I was even thinking with a slightly upper version eg. 8265, but with your advice I would just try 8260 for a succesful experience.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

That would be the safest way to go.

Please post back and let us know if replacing the wifi adapter resolved the disappearing Bluetooth issue.

@Paul_Tikkanen  Thanks, sure.

HP is very cautionary about replacing the WLAN module.

CAUTION: To prevent an unresponsive system, replace the wireless module only with a wireless module authorized for use in the computer by the governmental agency that regulates wireless devices in your country or region. If you replace the module and then receive a warning message, remove the module to restore device functionality, and then contact technical support.
