QUESTION: How do I change my Windows MAC address?

1. back up your registry

2.Search for your driver in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro
l\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

and search through the XXXX subkeys to find your NIC, then search for the value "NetworkAddress", if that value isn't present, which it may not be you may add in a string value and type in the value data "xxxxxxxxxxxx " with x being a MAC address for your vendor... if you put in a random mac that isn't bound to your vendor, you may end up with the card not binding.... after you are done editing the registry..

3. type IPCONFIG /ALL to see if it bound.
