Your notebook was not supported by HP for W10 or W11, so the only suggestion I can offer would be to try the W8.1 Realtek SD card reader that HP released for your notebook which was sp69617:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp69501-70000/sp69617.exe
If that driver doesn't get the SD card to work on W11, please post the hardware ID for the Realtek SD card reader so I can see if there is a newer driver for it from some other model notebook that has a Realtek SD card reader with the same ID that may also have W10 drivers.
