Hi:

 

Your English is just fine.

 

Yes, unfortunately your model notebook does have a BIOS whitelist which prevents you from installing any wifi card that isn't the one that came with your notebook.

You could try one of the other ones listed in chapter 3 of the service manual for your notebook, but they may not work.

 

You must ensure the wifi card has the HP part number on it or it will not work.

 

I can't find any specs on your model.

 

If it has an AMD processor, then you cannot use any of the Intel wifi cards listed in the service manual.
