Welcome to the HP Community --
There are several steps to connect a SIM card to your subscribed Mobile Broadband Carrier.
Steps
- Check that your computer includes the necessary WWAN mobile broadband module - Service Guide
- Check that the driver installed is a match to the current driver offered in Software and Drivers
- Install an active, subscribed SIM card in the SIM card slot in your system -- NOTE >> SIM card is installed inside the case in some workstations - check your service guide.
- Open Settings > Network & internet (path varies by OS version) > Open the section to switch on the SIM card
Details
The first step is to find your system product name / exact model name.
