Hi:

 

It doesn't matter.

 

Your card is M.2 and either of the illustrations of the cards you posted will fit in the slot.

 

What is more important is how many antenna wires are connected to the wifi card your notebook has.

 

Usually the  RTL8723BE wifi card only has one antenna wire connected to it, and the only wifi card you can upgrade to where both the wifi and bluetooth work with one antenna is this one...

 

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,

 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=L17365-005&_sacat=0&_sop=15

 

The card will have the same 72 MBPS throughput as the original wifi card on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band, it will have a max throughput of 433 MBPS when you have an AC router with an excellent wifi signal strength.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.

 

HP Pavilion Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

If your notebook has two antenna wires connected to the Realtek 8723BE card in there now, then buy the Intel card listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual.  Make sure it has that part number.

 

WLAN 11AC INT 3165 M.2 MOW   HP part # 806723-005
