Open Windows Settings: Click the Start button and then select "Settings".
Navigate to Network & Internet: Within Settings, choose "Network & Internet".
Look for Cellular Option: Check if a "Cellular" option exists. If not, your device likely doesn't support eSIM.
Verify eSIM Presence (Optional): If a "Cellular" option is present, click on it. If you see an eSIM profile listed or the ability to add one, your device is unlocked for eSIM.

Please note, certain carriers may have policies preventing unlocking within the initial six months of use.

Galaxy Book 2 and eSIM: what to know

The Galaxy Book 2 is a Windows laptop, and eSIM is only available on versions with a built-in cellular modem (LTE or 5G). Wi-Fi-only versions have no eSIM. Windows can store several eSIM profiles, but how many can be active at once depends on your exact variant, so check its specifications.

Check for cellular: if Settings > Network & internet has no "Cellular" entry, your laptop has no modem and cannot use an eSIM.
Add the eSIM: go to Settings > Network & internet > Cellular > Manage eSIM profiles > Add a new profile, then enter the activation code or scan the QR code.
Find the EID: it is normally shown in the Cellular settings, in the eSIM profiles or hardware properties section.
Travel tip: download the profile over Wi-Fi before you leave, and turn on data roaming for it once you arrive.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, you can install the profile at home and activate it when you land. Your laptop gets local data while your main number and WhatsApp stay untouched on your phone.
