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 Use an eSIM to get a cellular data connection on your Windows PC - Microsoft Support

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?

programmatically enable an eSIM from a list of profiles

Hi there,

we're replacing mobile APN's with eSIM profiles in our tests. Why is there no way to programmatically select an eSIM from a list of profiles, something similar to 'netsh mbn connect interface="mobile" connmode=name name="fast"?

Yes, I've found the LPA service that gets activated when you enable an eSIM:

[MBBSettingUX]SystemSettings:ataModel::CESimProfileEntrySettingHandler:oEnableProfile(2553):Enable profile for profileId = 1234567890720381100

[Microsoft.Windows.Cellcore.LPA.Service]LpaServiceLui,LPA::Lui::LogMessage,4,952,7,1234567890720381100,0,12345678907203810000001378939818

But there's no published API towards LPA I know of.

Applies to both Win 10 & 11.
Thanks.
