Your PC can't read SIM cards because it does not have the optional WWAN networking hardware that is needed to connect to a cellular network.

 

All the SIM card does is allow you to use your cellular provider's network.

HP Recommended

The list of supported WWAN adapters with their HP part numbers can be found in chapter 3 of your notebook's maintenance and service guide.

i do not understand

What don't you understand?

 

You can find what WWAN cards you can install in your notebook by looking at chapter 3 of the maintenance and service guide for your notebook which has the list of parts.

 

What I don't understand is how can I possibly help you when you didn't provide the model number or product number of your notebook?

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP EliteBook 840 G6 Notebook PCHP EliteBook 846 G6 Notebook PC

 

Chapter 3, page 23 has the list of supported WWAN adapters with their HP part numbers.

 

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

 

Before buying one of the above listed WWAN adapters make sure that your notebook has the WWAN antennas already present in the location where the WWAN adapter installs.


Chapter 5, pages 43 & 44 has the WWAN card removal and replacement procedure.

 

Where you will be able to find and buy any of those cards in your country, that I do not know.
