Hi:

Since your notebook only has one wifi antenna, this is the only dual band wifi card you can upgrade to...

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

You can find this model on eBay.

The card has the same throughput as the RTL8723DE card on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router, it has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS.

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.

I am living in India. So, purchasing it from ebay is very costly as it costs me around 6000 rs in INR. Can you please share the link from which I can directly buy in India with less shipping charges.

Can you buy items from Ali Express?

If so, I think they have that card for sale there.  This card should work fine.
