Let's ensure it's not restricted to any specific carrier or network.

Open the Settings on your Microsoft Surface Go 2 device.
Navigate to "About Phone" or "SIM & Network" (depending on your model).
Look for an option mentioning "eSIM" or "eSIM Information".

If these options are present, your device is likely eSIM compatible.

Dial *#06# and press call.

If your device displays an EID number, it's eSIM compatible.

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

Surface Go 2 and eSIM: what to know

Only the LTE Advanced version of the Surface Go 2 supports eSIM. The Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular modem, so it cannot use one. On the LTE model, the eSIM works alongside the physical nano-SIM slot, so you can keep your home SIM and add a travel eSIM for data.

Where to add it: go to Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular, then select Manage eSIM profiles and Add a new profile.
Finding the EID: open the same eSIM profiles page under Cellular settings. If you cannot see it there, check the cellular advanced options.
Before you go: download the profile while you are on Wi-Fi, because the tablet needs an internet connection to install it.
Windows tip: keep Windows updated so the cellular settings and the Mobile Plans app work properly.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM at home over Wi-Fi, then turn it on when you land to get data on the Surface Go 2 right away. Your main SIM stays in the slot, so your number and WhatsApp on your phone are unaffected.
