Compatibility lists name several HP business laptops as eSIM-capable, but cellular is a build option. Two laptops with the same model name can differ.
Key Takeaways
- Check your own laptop rather than the model name.
- No Cellular section means no eSIM.
- See the Elite Dragonfly and Spectre guide for those models.
Do HP EliteBook, ProBook and ZBook G5 Laptops Support eSIM?
Only on configurations with a cellular modem, and not necessarily all of those. These models appear on third-party compatibility lists, but we couldn't confirm each one on an HP spec sheet. Open Windows Settings and look for Cellular with an eSIM profiles option.

How to Activate eSIM on an HP Laptop
- Open Windows Settings. Press Windows + I.
- Go to Cellular. Open Network & Internet → Cellular. If there's no Cellular section, this laptop has no cellular modem.
- Add the eSIM. Open eSIM profiles, choose Add new, and enter the activation details Roamix emailed you, or scan the QR code if the laptop has a camera.
- Connect. Select the Roamix profile and choose Use.
- Allow roaming. Under Cellular, set the data roaming option to allow roaming.
Does a Travel eSIM Work on an HP Business Laptop?
Yes, if the laptop shows eSIM profiles. Roamix plans are data-only, which suits laptops. Work laptops may also have IT restrictions on adding profiles, so check with your IT team.

HP EliteBook, ProBook, ZBook G5 and Elite Folio eSIM: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HP EliteBook G5 have eSIM?
Only some do. EliteBook G5 appears on eSIM lists, but it covers many models, and we couldn't confirm each on an HP spec sheet. A laptop without a cellular modem can't use eSIM. Check for a Cellular section with eSIM profiles in Windows Settings.
Does the HP Elite Folio 13 have eSIM?
Cellular configurations are listed as eSIM-capable, but we didn't find an HP spec sheet confirming it. Check Settings → Network & Internet → Cellular → eSIM profiles.
Do HP ProBook G5 and ZBook G5 laptops have eSIM?
Possibly, on versions with a cellular modem. They appear on compatibility lists without an HP confirmation we could find, so check your own laptop in Windows Settings.
Can I add an eSIM to an HP laptop without cellular?
No. eSIM needs a cellular modem. If there's no Cellular section in Windows Settings, a travel eSIM won't work on that laptop.
