I’ve reviewed all the guides I found and still can’t locate one that changes a MAC address on Windows 10. I’ve tried Ubuntu before, but it’s time to switch again (it helps me stay curious). I used “macchanger” for Mac, now I need it for Windows 10, especially for a Samsung phone’s MAC, which no tutorial covers. Anyone have done this successfully?

Have you explored this technique? I’ve used it previously and it helped, though it was some time ago. It’s not a pressing requirement at the moment.

They are attempting to configure the Ethernet address, which prevents me from seeing the same setting they're using. It's important to note I'm focusing on changing the Wi-Fi address instead of the Ethernet one, since that's my priority.

I've reviewed that before, but another check revealed a detail: "When modifying the MAC address, ensure it begins with 02, 06, 0A or 0E; otherwise it may fail. It looks like a Windows rule or limitation. (Refer to this other answer)." So it won't work unless I set it to start with 48. Thanks still! I'll keep using Linux for now.
