How to find your MAC address in Windows 7?

Back to the topic: What do I have to do to find my MAC address in Windows 7?

Use “IPConfig” to find your Windows MAC address

Windows 7 still has a great command line tool that allows you to run “hidden” network tools. IPConfig is a built-in tool that lists all of your network connection including useful information like the state or the MAC address:

1. Step Start the command line tool by entering cmd.exe into the search field of the start menu.
2. Step Enter ipconfig -all and press enter.

You should get something like this (Source: www.standford.edu):

A MAC address always looks the same, it always has six groups of two hexadecimal digits, e.g. 01-23-45-67-89-ab.

This not only works in Windows 7, but also in Windows Vista, Windows XP and any other Windows edition.

Of course you can’t use IPConfig to find out the MAC addresses of other PC’s that are currently connected to your network. It would be great, wouldn’t it? Luckily, there are tools like our MAC-Address-Finder that are able to do retrieve them for you.
