The 17-x115dx notebook does not have a combination Wi-Fi Bluetooth adapter.

 

The parts list indicates that it comes with a Realtek RTL8188EE-VJ 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi adapter.

 

That is a single band, non-Bluetooth Wi-Fi adapter.

 

You have two options for Bluetooth:

 

1. Purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

 

2. Replace the RTL8188EE Wi-Fi adapter with this model which is also dual band and has Bluetooth:

 

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.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure:
