How do I find my IP address in Windows?
You can find your computer's IP address very quickly with two different ways in Windows.
First, on the bottom left side of your screen click the pill shaped search or click on the Windows icon to the left of that. You can also press the Windows icon on the bottom of your keyboard. It's the key between the Ctrl key and the Alt key.
The next thing is to type in the search bar the word run. This will pop up another window and there tye the letters - cmd. This will open a new window with a blinking cursor in what looks like an old DOS prompt. Type ipconfig right after the blinking cursor prompt and this will open a screen with all your network information. About halfway down you'll find your ip address right after IPv4 Address - this will be your address. It's the easiest way to find your IP Address.
Another way to find the same information is to go back to search as in the first way and this time type control panel. Open Control Panel and then select Network and Internet. After that select Network and Sharing Center and select your internet connection. When you do this another window will pop up and from here you'll see about halfway down a button that says Details. Click on Details and all of your connection information will be listed there and your ip address will be right after IPv4.
This is good to know and if you subscribe to a VPN you'll want to check this for sure, because if you find that your ip is not changed then you'll want to get another one.
Everyone with any computer savvy will want a good VPN these days to keep Internet Service Providers from knowing all of your business!
Good Luck!
