Hi - I have been struggling with my wifi continuously dropping since the latest Windows 10 update (it happened with the last update and I forget what I did to get it to work all the time)... I would like to replace the card that I have if possible (it is the Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030)... CAN I replace this card with a Windows 10 compatible card and if so, WHICH ONE? IF NOT, what USB adaptor do you all recommend. I realize this laptop is VERY OLD but it works perfectly for what I need it for at home. Thanks for your help!

Hi, Chris:
Since HP had a BIOS whitelist in that model series which prevents the installation of any wifi cards that didn't come with your notebook, your only option would be to install a USB wifi adapter.
