Hi:
You probably need to install the wifi and USB 3 drivers from your notebook's support page.
HP could have installed one of several different model wifi cards, but here is the USB 3 driver you need...
This package contains the Renesas USB 3.0 driver. This driver is available for supported notebook models with supported operating systems.
If you want me to provide the link to the correct wifi driver you need, please post the hardware ID for the device you see listed in the device manager, labeled as a Network Controller.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.
