Product: HP 15 Notebook PC, Pentium 2.16GHz
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I got this laptop for school. Fairly cheep and just need it for simple things like writing papers and emails. But the thing is constant overheating. Hot enough to where you can feel it through the plastic. So I took it apart thinking the fan wasn’t working or was plugged up. Turns out there is no fan in it at all! 
I need to know what fan to get for it or if there’s even fans for it at all.

Any help is much appreciated.

Are you sure it is  15-1272wm  ? I think it is an HP 15-f272wm, its specs

It uses low wattage CPU/Processor (only 4.5w) therefore it does NOT have a fan, it is a fanless machine.

Yes it is the 15-f272wm, my apologies. 
Is there anything that can be done to help it run cooler because it feels too hot even when running just a few tabs in Chrome or Firefox.

One thing you can do: using a cool pad as many gamers do
