You're very welcome.
The only card you can upgrade to is this one, since your notebook only has one antenna cable.
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1×1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)
HP Part # L17365-005
You can find the card on eBay. The card is on back order from the HP parts store.

Specs on the card:
On the 2.4 GHz wifi band, the same as the RTL8723BE.
On the 5.0 Ghz wifi band, the maximum throughput with an AC router is 433 MBPS.
On the 5.0 GHz wifi band on a dual band N router, the maximum throughput is 150 MBPS.
