Windows Hello

If you haven't already, set up Windows Hello using the integrated camera on Surface Pro.

Swipe in from the right and select All settings.
Go to Accounts > Sign-in options.
Under Manage how you sign in to your device, select Windows Hello Face > Set up, and then follow the instructions.

LTE connectivity

There are two ways you can use your Surface Pro to connect to a mobile operator network.

Option 1: Use a nano SIM card from your mobile operator.

Option 2: Use Surface Pro's embedded SIM (eSIM) and the Mobile Plans app to get a data plan from your current operator or buy a plan from a new one.

Option 1: Insert a nano SIM card

Put the enclosed SIM ejector tool in the SIM card tray then push to eject.
Place your mobile operator's nano SIM card in the tray and close it.
Go to the Start menu, and select Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular.
To use your SIM, select Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular. For Use this SIM for cellular data, select SIM 1.
On the taskbar, select the Network icon and make sure your mobile operator is listed.

Note: For help with your nano SIM card or cellular service, contact your mobile operator.

Option 2: Use the embedded SIM (eSIM)

Make sure you have an internet connection.
Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular. For Use this SIM for cellular data, select eSIM, then select Connect with a data plan.
When the Mobile Plans app opens, select your mobile operator if they're listed. If you select a new operator, you'll go to their website to set up a new account and buy a new plan.
On the taskbar, select the Network icon, select the cellular network, and then follow any additional steps to get connected.

Note: For more help with using an eSIM, go to support.microsoft.com. Data plans may not be available in all countries or regions—please contact your mobile operator.

Battery health

All rechargeable batteries wear out with time. To maintain your battery health and performance, follow these tips:

Once a month, let your battery drain below half way before charging it.
Avoid having your device plugged in 24/7.
Store your device in a cool and dry environment.
If you plan to store your device for a long time, charge the battery to 50% every six months.
