You can change your MAC address through the Command Prompt. Check out the steps provided below:

Step 1: Open Command Prompt with Admin privileges. For this, press Windows key + S at a time. The start search panel will open up. Here, type cmd. In the search result, select the Run as administrator option. Alternatively, you can also use PowerShell for the same. To launch Powershell, type Powershell in the search bar. From the search result, select the run as administrator option.

Step 2: In the CMD / PowerShell window, type the following command:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}_0002 /v NetworkAddress /d 012df566e30a /f

In the above command, make sure to replace the 0002 with the wireless directory according to your Registry Editor and 012df566e30a with the new MAC address you want to set.

It was once done; press Enter button after typing in the command. After the command has been executed, go ahead and close Command Prompt window. Also, restart your PC once.

What happens to the MAC address when you move a computer to another network?

The MAC address is a unique identifier for a networking card. Each networking card has a MAC address assigned to it during it's manufacturing, and thus it does not change when a computer moves between networks (unlike an IP address which is assigned by the network). A few things to note: - A computer only has a MAC address if it has a physical or virtual network card - A computer has as many MAC addresses as it has networking cards - MAC addresses CAN be modified before being broadcast to the rest of the network, however generally this results in the computer not receiving intended traffic and requires specialized software

Will the MAC address change if you format your computer?

Under normal circumstances: No. The MAC address is hardcoded in the network controller (NIC), e.g. on a Flash chip. If the computer uses a non virtual NIC (as used on virtual machines) and there are no drivers installed that change the MAC inside the operating system, the MAC stays the same. But drivers/configurations can overcome the static MAC using the OS behavior. In most cases the MAC isn't read by the OS every time it is used, its rather stored somewhere. If that "somewhere" was changed, the MAC will certainly change if the computer is formated. Same applies if the computer uses virtual NICs. If you know the MAC and it is not the same as hardcoded in the NIC, you can restore the MAC after reinstallation.
