I have HP Evny 15-j001tx I am thinking of upgrading my wifi card but I read somewhere that some cards are not compatible with HP. I am thinking to buy a card from AliExpress, so please advise me which card I should buy which can work well with my laptop.
I don't want to have to install a separate USB wifi adapter.

Hi:
Doesn't your notebook come with two antenna wires?
I don't know of any 15-j0xx notebook that doesn't.
Your screenshot only shows part of one antenna wire connector.
If it does have two wires, they do make a Wi-Fi 6 card in a HMC form factor that should work if your notebook has two Wi-Fi antenna wires to connect to it.

They also have a Wi-Fi 6E card, but it costs more:

I don't think it matters because your notebook does not have a BIOS whitelist, so the cards should work.
They won't work in any HP notebook made in 2011 or earlier and yours is newer than that.
Those all have BIOS whitelists which block any model Wi-Fi card from working other than the one that came with the notebook.
