Hi:

 

Your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other model Wi-Fi card other than those that HP might have offered in your specific notebook.

 

Enter your notebook's product number (not the model number) in the search box at the link below, and you will see the list of supported Wi-Fi adapters with their HP part numbers you can install.

The best you can do would be to install a different single band Wi-Fi card, which is probably not worth the time, effort or money.
