This article will explain in detail how to change your Mac address under windows. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Method 1. Right-click on the "Network neighbor" icon on the desktop, select "Properties", in the pop-up "Network connection" dialog box, right-click on the "Local connection" icon, select "Properties", it will pop up a "Local connection Properties" dialog box, click the "configuration" button, select "Advanced", select "Network Address" in the left column "Properties" (in fact, not all network cards The description of the physical address is "Network Address". For example, the network card of Intel is described by "Locally Administered Address". As long as you can find the option "value" in the right column box, then select the above single option in the right column box "value" (non-"does not exist"). At this time, you can enter the MAC address of the network card you want to change in the box on the right, such as "000B6AF6F4F9". Click the "OK" button and the modification is complete.

However, there are some network cards do not have this option, do not worry, you can first update the network card driver to try, in general, update the driver will appear after this option.

Method 2: the registry modification method

Step 1, click start, select run, and type "regedit" to bring up the registry.

Step 2, look for DriverDesc under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\ 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. The content is the description of the network card to be modified, for example, the network card of Intel will be described as "Intel (R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter", and the network card of 3Com will be described as "3Com EtherLink XL 10 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)" and so on.

Note: the location of the options described above is related to the network card itself and the operating system. Different network cards may appear under different primary keys, and the same network card with different versions of the operating system (such as OEM version, VOL or VLK, etc.) will also appear in different locations. The task of this step is to find the primary key that contains the description of the network card.

Step 3, select the primary key found in step 2, add a string named "Network Address" in the right column box, and its value is set to the MAC address to be changed, such as "000B6AF6F4F9".

Note: at this stage, the task of modifying the physical address of the network card can be said to be completed, some network cards need to restart the following to work normally, while others only need a little time to "react". The following steps are for the convenience of modifying the physical address later, and if the reader no longer needs to modify it again, you can stop here.

Step 4, under the "primary key selected in the first step"\ Ndi\ params, add a primary key named "NetworkAddress". At this time, you will generally generate a "(default)" string in the right column and set its value to the MAC address you finally want to modify, such as "000B6AF6F4F9". If you don't have this string, you can add it yourself.

Note: this step is to set an initial MAC address for the network card.

Step 5, under the primary key of "NetworkAddress", continue to add a string named "ParamDesc". Its function is to specify the description of the primary key of "NetworkAddress". Its value can be named by itself, such as "NetworkAddress", so that the "NetworkAddress" option will appear in the advanced properties of the network card, that is, the new key "NetworkAddress" has just been added in the registry. Later, as long as you modify the MAC address here.

Step 6, continue to add a string named "Optional" under the primary key of "NetworkAddress", whose value is set to "1", then when you select the "NetworkAddress" item in the advanced properties of the network card, the "does not exist" option will appear on the right.

Step 7, restart the computer (it is not necessary to restart, but it depends on the requirements of different network cards, but there is no error in restarting. If you follow the first method to find the "advanced" option, you can find the "Network Address" option in the "properties" column, which can now be used to directly modify the MAC address or restore the original address.
