Tutorial To Change Your MAC Address On Windows 7 & 8

Step 1 Open the Device Manager. First you can open Contol Panel > System and Security > System. Now you can access the Device Manager from the Control Panel. It will be located in the System and Security section if you are using Category View.

Step 2 Click on the Network Adapters section. In your Device Manager, you will see a list of all of
the hardware installed on your computer. These are sorted into categories. Click on the Network Adapters section to see all of your installed network adapters.

Step 5 Enter your new MAC address. When you click on Network Address that time right side open the blank box. Now write your new Mac Address in this box. But remember MAC addresses are 12-digit values, and should be entered without any dashes or colons. For example, if you want to make the MAC address “2A:1B:4C:3D:6E:5F”, you would enter “2A1B4C3D6E5F”.

Step 6 Reboot your computer to enable the changes. You can also disable and re-enable your adapter within Windows for the change to become effective without rebooting. Just sliding the Wi-Fi’s On/Off switch like the slider found on ThinkPads and VaiOs won’t satisfactorily disable/re-enable the card.

Step 7 Check that the changes took effect. Once you’ve rebooted the computer, open the Command Prompt and enter ipconfig /all and note the Physical Address of your adapter. It should be your new MAC address.
