Hi, @Mooncricket5000 

 

Both of the above wifi adapters require two antenna wires for the Bluetooth to work, and yours only has one wire.

 

You can replace the RTL8188EE wifi card with this model that is both dual band AC and has Bluetooth...

 

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

 

You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express.  I see an Intel cards listed at the top of 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 wifi card removal and replacement procedure.
