Hi:

 

Looking at the service manual (chapter 1 and chapter 2), your notebook does not have an ethernet port.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

If you need ethernet, you will need to purchase a USB to RJ-45 gigabit ethernet adapter, and then you can purchase a Cat 6 ethernet cable in a length that meets your needs.

Thank you so much! This was helpful.  It does give me one more question, the USB to RJ-45 gig ethernet adapter, is that something I need to purchase from HP?  **finally, after hours of searching you've given me an answer, quickly I might add.  I shoulda come to HP to start with, lol.

You can buy any model that is compatible with Windows 10, such as this one...

I also believe your notebook's USB C port would also support one, but I am not 100% sure.
