You probably already know that each network interface card (NIC) on a network must have a media access control (MAC) address. Each address must be unique to the network, and should be globally unique. However, you might have the need to change the MAC address on a system. Here's how to do it when you're running Windows with an Intel Ethernet NIC.
Windows 10: Need Graphics Driver for Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family. In order to keep your computer free of malware, we recommend that you always have an antivirus program installed, especially when downloading and installing new programs from the web.

Steps to Change the MAC Address
The steps assume that you've already installed the Intel PROSet drivers for your Ethernet NIC. If you've not yet done that, you can get the driver installer package from Intel® Download Center.
Open Control Panel, then click on Network and Sharing Center.
In the Network and Sharing Center windows, click on Change Adapter Settings in the left pane. This displays the Network Connections list as shown in Figure 1.

Right-click on the connection that you want to change and then click Properties to bring up the network connection properties as shown in Figure 2.

You want to manage the properties of the NIC itself, not protocol properties like TCP/IP or NetBIOS. To manage NIC properties, click the Configure… button directly under the adapter name. This will bring up the NIC properties as shown in Figure 3.

Did you notice that there are more tabs along the top of this dialog box than other network adapters? That's the Intel PROSet drivers in action. They expose many more configuration options than the typical drivers.
To change the MAC address, first click the Advanced tab, and under Settings click Locally Administered Address. This allows you to specify a new MAC address as shown in Figure 4.

In this example, I'm setting the MAC address for this NIC to DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE. That should be easy for me to remember and verify, as I'm a carnivore. Then I click OK to apply the change. The network connection will be down for a moment while it restarts with the new MAC address.
Finally, to verify the change was made I'll use getmac.exe.
Figure 5. Success! The MAC address has indeed changed.
There you go. The MAC address is verified as DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE or DE-AD-BE-EF-CA-FE or DEADBEEFCAFE (depending on which tool you use to view it).
Enjoy!

I used the Intel Driver Update Utility - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html and installed the latest driver the tool recommended, but the Windows 10 update continues to fail with the identical error message as above. I contacted Intel support and their reply was that I needed to talk to Apple for a solution. I'm also unable to run a HDMI second monitor on the Windows side of Bootcamp, that runs perfectly on the Mac side of Bootcamp. Obviously, I have graphic card issues, but I don't have the answers.
