Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.

 

You can install up to 2 x 8 GB of memory in your notebook.

 

Wifi card upgrade...usually notebooks that have single band wifi cards only have one antenna wire.

 

You can upgrade to this dual band AC wifi card on notebooks with one antenna wire.

 

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,

 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=L17365-005&_sacat=0&_sop=15

 

The card will have the same 72 MBPS throughput as the RTL8723BE 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.

 

If you want to open up the notebook before buying a wifi card, let me know if it has two antenna wires, because I can recommend a better wifi card than that one if your notebook has two antenna wires attached to the existing wifi card.
