How to Quickly Find Out the MAC Address of a PC in Windows 11

Each device has a unique MAC address to communicate with other devices.

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the only identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in intra-network communication.

The device manufacturer assigns the MAC address with a unique address so that each device has an original address. An example of a MAC address is 00-50-56-C0-00-01.

The MAC address tells you about the equipment connected to the network, while the IP address allows the user to get network information. If the location or network connection changes, the MAC address does not change, but the IP address changes.
