How to change MAC address in Window 8 or Window 7?

Hello guys! as one of the viewer of our Facebook page requested to post a way to change the MAC address in windows 7, I am here with the simplest way of it. Without using cmd i.e. using GUI. (#Note: this method works in Windows 8 too)
Follow below steps to change your MAC address.

1. Go to 'networks and sharing' in 'control panel'.
2. Click 'adapter setting' on left of the window (now you must be able to see your network adapter's list)
3. Right click the network adapter that you want to change the MAC address.
4. Click 'properties'
5. Click 'Configure...' in networking tab
6. Go to 'Advanced' tab
7. In 'property' list box you can see 'Network Address', click on it
8. Change select to radio button 'Value'
9. Keep Network address as you want in the box.
10. To check if the MAC address is changed of not: go to cmd and enter 'ipconfig/all'. check the corresponding network adapter's physical address.

Note: Both Network address and Physical address are MAC address of your PC.

  1. These steps are lengthy you can now use software that does this work in a single click . Some of them are SMAC, MAC shift and mad MAC's .

    1. That's very true.
      But we can't neglect the fact that we will always be carrying the software with us. Maybe your friend will ask you and you don't have software that time.
      However, your opinion is right. (Y)
