Hi:

 

Your notebook comes with a Realtek RTL8188EE WIFI adapter.

 

That model wifi adapter is not a combination wifi/Bluetooth adapter.

 

Your notebook does not have Bluetooth networking capability.

 

You can either purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter or replace the Realtek RTL8188EE wifi card with this model.

 

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 throughput as the RTL8188EE 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.
