Hi:
If your notebook does not have a WWAN card, then it cannot use a SIM card for mobile broadband use.
Your notebook should have a wireless network adapter to connect to the internet where wireless access is available.
If you want to use a sim card, you will have to purchase one of the supported WWAN cards listed in chapter 3 of the service manual, and the card must have the HP part number on it or it will not work.
Also, before buying a WWAN card, you must first ensure the antenna cables are present where the WWAN card goes to connect to it.
Here is the link to the service manual...

You have to have the WWAN hardware.
The software is useless without it.
Once you purchase a supported wwan card for your model from the service manual I posted above, you can download the driver for it from the link below...under the W8.1 Network drivers section.
The W8.1 drivers should work on W10 too.
