Hi:

The only upgrades you can perform would be to:

Replace the 500 GB 2.5" SATA mechanical hard drive with a 500 GB 2.5" SATA solid state drive (SSD).

Replace the 4 GB DDR3L-1600 memory chip with an 8 GB DDR3L-1600 memory chip.

Replace the existing Wi-Fi adapter with this model dual band Wi-Fi adapter (this is the only other one that will work).

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

The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.

You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express. 

I see some Intel 3165 cards listed on the eBay listings, so don't buy those.

RTL8821CE - Buy RTL8821CE with free shipping on AliExpress

On the Ali Express listings, make sure the card has the HP Part # of 915620-001.
