How to check the physical address of a laptop?

You can find your laptop's physical address (MAC address) using the command prompt.

Steps to Find the Physical Address

Here's how to find the physical address (MAC address) of your laptop:

1. Open the Command Prompt:

   • Click the Windows Start button, or press the Windows key.
   • In the search box, type cmd.
   • Press the Enter key. A command window will appear.

2. Run the ipconfig /all command:

   • In the command window, type ipconfig /all.
   • Press Enter.

3. Locate the Physical Address:

   • The command will display detailed information about each network adapter in your laptop. Look for the section corresponding to your active network connection (e.g., Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection or Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi).
   • Within that section, find the line labeled "Physical Address." This is your device's MAC address. It will be displayed as a series of hexadecimal pairs separated by hyphens (e.g., 00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E).
