I have a Surface Pro 7 Model 1866 i5 and was wondering how I could change the MAC Address. I can view the MAC Address using the getmac and ipconfig /all commands in powershell and cmd to view my MAC but couldn't use my traditional methods to change it. For example, my network driver (an Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 MHz) has neither a "Network Address" nor a "Locally Administered Address" tab on its device manager properties page resulting in me not being able to tamper with the physical address of the adapter in devmgt, network properties (in control panel), and in the advanced properties and configurations of my network adapter in adapter settings in control panel. Also, while using the Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name "*" -RegistryKeyword "*" -IncludeHiddenpowershell command, neither of them (Network or Locally Administered Address) options appeared. It just showed:

As well as this, adding a network address in my network card registry, it did not affect my MAC Address when viewing it, even when restarting my device after. Any suggestions or tips would be very appreciated.
Thanks,Asian
P.S: I do not want to use any third-party software to assist me in this. I feel like using third party software should be a last resort if it is only for thing you could already do built in with a device (except for Chrome or Opera because Edge is just bad in my opinion). I would rather use the option made for my device instead of installing something extra. I know that NoVirusThanks' MAC Address changer already works, but I would prefer an option built in.
