I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5558 laptop which consists of Intel Dual Band Wireless AC as the WLAN card and the corresponding WLAN driver is installed. I was trying to spoof my address using Windows 10. I tried it using Technitium MAC Address Changer, NoVirus Thanks MAC Address Changer, SMAC MAC Address Changer and even edited the registry. Nothing worked. So i searched for other possible ways but in the end I found this: Intel's official statement that mac address cannot be changed

So this tells me that the mac address cannot be changed. But on Ubuntu just clicking on Edit Connections > Network Name > Entering the required MAC address, lets me spoof my MAC address.

Therefore, my question is, what does Ubuntu do differently for MAC spoofing and can i do the similar process on Windows to spoof MAC for any network card?

As I know it depend not only on hardware but on driver also.

No wonder different drivers give different capabiliies.

Beginning with 12.x driver package, the possibility of "spoofing" the MAC address was blocked ...

Try Intel driver package older that 12.0. Like 11.x
