There is a W10 driver for that card but I think the hardware version of the card your notebook has is too old to work with the driver. I doubt the atheros card will work after W10 is installed, but you shouldn't have to remove it just to install W10. I usually go on eBay, query by the HP part number and buy a card that shows the part number in the eBay listing photograph.īut an easier thing to do would be to make the W10 installation DVD by using the media creation tool at the link below, run the upgrade from the windows desktop, select do not check for updates and W10 will bypass any hardware checks and install with the atheros card in place. NOTE: You MUST get that specific card, and it MUST have the HP part number on it or it will not work. That is the only card that I see on the list that should work on W10. Then I recommend you get the Intel Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 wlan card.HP Part number 636672-001, listed in chapter 3, page 25 of the service manual. You should be able to.Just make sure you connect by ethernet cable so W10 is activated before the deadline.
