Product: HP 17-e119wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade this keyboard to a backlit one. Also, would anyone know the part number or product I would need to make this happen? Thank you.

Not possible. A backlit keyboard was not offered in that model series so there is no port on the motherboard that could power a backlight and no backlit keyboard part you could swap in. See p. 20 of the Manual here:

Note how the word "backlit" is not mentioned in the manual.

Maybe you only have to try to connect a mechanical keyboard with backlight. None of the keyboards in this series have backlight
