Sleekbook HP Pavilion 15-b050el can support w10

OK, then that is why the wireless isn't working.

There are a couple model wireless cards that completely disappear from the device manager on Windows 10.

One of them is the Realtek 8188EE, and your notebook may have come with one of those.

The only suggestion I can offer would be to reinstall W8, which is what your PC came with from the factory, and then take the free upgrade to W8.1.

Is there an FCC ID sticker on your notebook's case somewhere? 

That ID will give the wireless card model and sometimes in the BIOS system information window you can find the wireless card model.

Yes there is. The FFC id is: PPD-AR5B125

That is an atheros wireless card your notebook has.

I don't think this is going to work, but you have nothing to lose by trying it.

I say that because there is no device present for the driver to install to.

Before installing the driver, try performing a hard reset of the notebook to see if it discovers the wireless card.

Here is the W10 driver for that model card.

This package contains the driver installation package for the Qualcomm Atheros AR9000-Series wireless LAN Controller in the supported models and operating systems.

Now, I see that you went through a lot of work to install the SSD according to the manual, so you are not afraid to take things apart like I am. 

If you want to keep running W10 and you can't get the Atheros card to work, I recommend you replace that lousy single band, non-bluetooth wireless card with a nice Intel 7260 dual band wireless N card with bluetooth.  If you have an AC router, you may want to get the 7260 AC card.

Just make sure there are two antennas currently connected to the Atheros card.  You need two antennas for that model wlan card.

It will work with W10, and there are drivers on the Intel website.
