    Random Hardware Address Used for Windows 10?

    Thank you for replying. I followed the link's instructions and checked for all Wifi ntwks and specific Wifi networks and my version (see orig. post), doesn't have 'Use random hardware addresses.'
    under either screen.

    I looked through each link below and couldn't find it either.

    For all Wifi I get:

    Wifi on/off with these links:

    -Show Available Networks

    -Hardware PropertiesManage Know Networks

    WiFi Services:

    -Find paid plans for suggested open hotspots near me on/off

    -Connect to suggested open hotspots on/off

    Hotspot 2.0 networks:

    Let me use Online Sign-Up to get connected on/off

    Related Settings with these links:

    -Change Adapter Options

    -Change Advanced Sharing Options

    -Network and Sharing Center

    -HomeGroup

    -Windows Firewall

    For specific Wifi under Manage Known Networks I get a choice to
    turn on or off:

    -Connect Automatically when in Range-Make this PC discoverable

    -Metered connection

    -Properties (of the router I selected)

    Is it just not on my version of Windows 10 Home?

    Random Hardware (Mac) Address - Windows 10

    Exactly what I suspected!

    next question is...does it mean I can't change/spoof my mac address even by using third party softwareor registry editing?

    and

    is there a list of wifi adapters that support the "random hardware address" feature?
