How can I tell if my 850 g6 is able to connect with sim card

[ipse]

I have purchased a new HP EliteBook 850 G6 Notebook PC, however I cannot setup the network using my SIM card. I have read that not all HP EliteBook 850 G6 Notebook PCs are supported, so my question is, how can I tell if mine is supported, and how can I setup it to connect with a SIM card (if supported)?

Thanks in advance!

Firstly, SIM card alone won't work. you need WWAN card first. From the following information

        https://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/getpdf.aspx/4AA7-4327EEAP.pdf

There are few options for WWAN cards

• Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 9560 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, vPro™;
• Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 9560 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, non-vPro™;
• Intel® XMM™ 7360 LTE-Advanced Cat 9;
• Intel® XMM™ 7560 LTE-Advanced Pro Cat 16;
• Intel® XMM™ 7262 LTE-Advanced Cat 6;
• Intel® AX200 Wi-Fi 6 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, vPro™; Intel® AX200 Wi-Fi 6 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, non-vPro™

            (Compatible with Miracast-certified devices.)

Now please check Device Manager, Network adapters to see does your machine have Intel® XMM™...   component.

(a) If Yes, please check your provider and ask it for help.

(b) If No then SIM card won't work. You may be able to upgrade (check with your provider first) using

• Intel XMM 7360 LTE-Advanced (CAT 9)  part # L15398-002
• Intel XMM 7560 LTE-Advanced Pro (CAT 16) part # L27188-002
• Intel XMM 7262 LTE-Advanced (CAT 6)  part # L35286-002

Regards.

Unfortunatelly, that's what I thought too. Thanks for confirming it!
