Hi:
There aren't any that I know of, but since your notebook only has a single band, non-bluetooth wifi adapter, you can at least upgrade to the Broadcom AC model with bluetooth...
Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 combo HP part # 724935-001
There should be several for sale on eBay in used but tested and working condition.
Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.
The 4352 has a maximum throughput of 867 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router.

You're very welcome, Larry.
To the best of my knowledge, that model does not have a BIOS whitelist, but since it has an AMD processor and chipset, usually the Intel cards don't work.
The Broadcom card I recommended would be the best one for your notebook.

Anytime.
Please post back and let us know how your wifi upgrade project went.
BTW...here are the links to the last drivers HP released for that card.
Wifi: 7.35.351.0 Oct 25, 2016
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp78001-78500/sp78044.exe
Bluetooth: 12.0.1.921 Mar 21, 2016
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp75001-75500/sp75330.exe
Windows update will install a slightly newer wifi driver once you are connected to the internet. I think it will be 7.35.352.0
Prior to installing the new card, go to the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters device manager category, right click on the Realtek RTL8188EE wifi adapter, select uninstall, and check the uninstall driver box.
Shut down the PC, unplug it, remove the battery and install your BCM wifi AC card.
