Hi:
You should be able to upgrade the wifi card to this model...
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.
You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express. I see an Intel card listed as the first one on the eBay listing, so don't buy that one.

On the Ali Express listings, make sure the card has the HP Part # of 915620-001
The card will have the same 72 MBPS throughput as the original wifi card on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band, it will have a max throughput of 433 MBPS when you have an AC router with an excellent wifi signal strength.

I don't understand your question.
You buy the RTL8821CE WiFi card.
There's only one model with that name.
The Intel card requires two antenna wires to work right, and your notebook only has one, I believe.
