Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your notebook. 

HP Pavilion 15-n031sa Notebook PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 It does not come with built in Bluetooth networking or that feature would have been listed along with the 802.11b/g/n Wireless Connectivity specification.

If you want to add Bluetooth to your notebook, you have two options.:

1.  Purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

2. Replace the internal Wi-Fi card with one that has Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi.

I recommend this model for your notebook, since it is also an upgrade to dual band AC Wi-Fi and has Bluetooth.

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0    HP Part # 710661-001

You should be able to find this model Wi-Fi card on eBay. 

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi adapter.

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