I dont think my notebook has bluetooth capabilities, can I upgrade it somehow to include bluetooth?

Your laptops comes with Wi-FI but not bluetooth. 

I think this one will work

Hi, @kkarenk 

If you want to upgrade the internal Wi-Fi card, this one would be a better option because it is both dual band AC and has Bluetooth:

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

The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.

You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express. 

I see some Intel 3165 cards listed on the eBay listings, so don't buy those.

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 Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure:

You also have the option to use a USB Bluetooth adapter if you don't want to take the notebook apart.
