Unfortunately, your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other model Wi-Fi card from working other than the models listed in the parts list for your notebook and they must have the HP part numbers on them or they will not work.

 

None of them are dual band.

You will have to use a dual band USB Wi-Fi 6 adapter.

 

I bought this one a month or so ago for my HP desktop PC which did not have Wi-Fi.

Thank you very much for your help! I have been trying to research it myself but my technical knowledge is EXTREMELY limited.
