Need specific model number to see if you have a wireless card that can be upgraded and how many antenna leads you have.

Here's your Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

You do have 2 antennae and it is likely you are not hampered by the HP whitelist which blocks unapproved wiress cards from working.

 

Installation instructions on p. 42. Since you have already ordered the Advanced-N 6230 you might as well try it and report back here is you get an error message at boot. You want to uninstall the old card from device manager using advanced uninstall to remove the driver and you might want to have the Advanced-N 6230 driver already downloaded to the desktop before you install the new card.

i have windows 10 it dos not show windows 10 on down load page should i use the one for windows 8.1

HP Recommended

No longer supported. Windows 10 will likely just provide a driver but have that one available if not as a last resort.

HP Recommended

can you tell me of a better card for this laptop ty

HP Recommended

I hesitate to tell you to buy something else until we know whether you have a whitelist issue.

 

But this is the best card:
