Hi, @Teja08 

 

Below is the link to the parts list for your notebook.

 

HP PartSurfer

 

According to the parts list, your notebook comes with a Realtek RTL8188EE-VJ 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi adapter.

 

That model Wi-Fi adapter is a single band Wi-Fi adapter that does not support Bluetooth networking.

 

So, the fact that your notebook has no Bluetooth is completely normal.

 

You can upgrade the Realtek single band Wi-Fi adapter to this model which is both dual band AC and supports 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.

 

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.

 

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

Or you can purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter...
