Using this manual for my laptop: https://content.etilize.com/User-Manual/1039951170.pdf 

It recommends HP Spare Parts Number: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11AC 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter (non-vPro) 901229-855

 

But when I look online, I'm seeing a ton of 8265 series WLAN adapters that can be a bit cheaper. Would those work as well?

Hi:

 

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have in it now?

From what I can see in System Information, Components, Network, Adapter, it seems to be "Realtek RTL 8188EE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter". Does that sound right?
