How can I find a Mac address on my laptop?
Whenever a device gets connected to a network it will get a unique address in the network itself known as IP address. This address is unique but it is dynamic in nature, i.e., it gets changed for each network you get connected to. In order to identify a device on the network a physical address is assigned to each device, this is known as MAC address. This is a 12 characters combination of letters, numbers and colon, like 00:1A:C2:7B:00:47. MAC address can be found in any device very easily, the steps will be different depending on the OS in use. We are mentioning the steps for each type of system here.
