Open the Settings on your Microsoft Surface Pro X 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.

Surface Pro X and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the Microsoft Surface Pro X supports eSIM, but only on the LTE-enabled configurations. Wi-Fi-only variants do not have the cellular modem. It combines a nano-SIM tray with an eSIM, and Windows can store several eSIM profiles, although only one cellular connection is typically active at a time.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > Cellular, then choose Manage eSIM profiles (or Add eSIM) and enter the details or scan the QR code provided.
Finding the EID: go to Settings > Network & internet > Cellular > Manage eSIM profiles, where the EID is shown. Windows may also list it under the cellular adapter's advanced properties.
Internet needed: downloading a profile requires an internet connection, so use Wi-Fi while setting up.
Travel tip: in Cellular settings, make sure data roaming is allowed for the travel profile, and turn it off for your home plan to avoid surprise charges.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on the Surface Pro X before you leave, then activate it when you land. Your main number stays on your regular SIM, so WhatsApp and other apps tied to it keep working.
