Using eSIM
Your computer supports the use of an eSIM. An eSIM is a programmable version of the commonly used SIM
that you can use to download dierent proles from selected carriers.
An eSIM lets you connect to the internet over a cellular data connection. With an eSIM, you do not need to get
a SIM card from your mobile operator, and you can quickly switch between mobile operators and data plans.
For example, you might have one cellular data plan for work and a dierent plan with another mobile
operator for personal use. If you travel, you can connect in more places by nding mobile operators with
plans in that area.
You can implement eSIMs in two ways:
● The eSIM chip can be embedded (eUICC). The notebook then operates as a dual SIM, one as eUICC and the
second as standard micro or nano SIM card on a SIM card tray. Only one SIM can be active at a time.
● A removable physical eSIM is placed on a SIM card tray like a standard micro or nano SIM card, but the
eSIM is not limited to a single carrier (physical blank eSIM).
You must add an eSIM prole to connect to the internet using cellular data. To add a prole, manage SIM
proles, and learn how to use an eSIM, go to https://www.support.microsoft.com , and type Use an eSIM
in the search bar.
Using GPS
Your computer is equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. GPS satellites deliver location,
s
peed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems. To enable GPS, be sure that location is enabled
under the Windows privacy setting.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions for using location settings.
