Windows 10: Esim on Windows 10 Devices

Hi All,


Is anyone able to provide a current list of Windows 10 devices in Australia that work with Esim?


I know the Surface Pro X & older Pro LTE do support Esim but it seems very confusing on what will and wont support it.


I have a need for Esim due to remote working however the Pro X runs the mobile processor so no good and the only other models are the old HP Envy devices.


I purchased a Acer Swift 3 due to this https://www.acer.com/ac/en/AU/content/4g-lte however no Esim just physical.


I am sure a combination of certain hardware/software/firmware will dictate if it can support Esim or not however I can not find any info that will solve the riddle. Microsoft say the way to check if your device supports Esim is to do this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020763/windows-10-use-esim-for-cellular-data

This isn't super helpful considering it doesn't allow you to know before you purchase the device.

Can anyone solve the Esim riddle on why its so hard to get accurate info and as an example why a 4 year old Surface Pro LTE can work with Esim but a new 5k HP device running a cellular modem that says it can support Esim cant?

Hi AKW28,

I'm an Independent Advisor and consumer of Microsoft products just like you. Let me help you with your concern.

Here's how you can tell if your PC has an eSIM:

1. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular .

2. On the Cellular screen, look for a link near the bottom of the page that says Manage eSIM profiles. If that link appears, your PC has an eSIM.

If the cellular option is not available then it does not supports eSIM feature.
