If you want to remote desktop into a computer or other device, you need to know the PC
or device’s IP address. Here’s how to find it in Windows 10.
Your computer’s IP address (Internet Protocol) is, as the name suggests, an address
that provides an identity for your device on a network. Whether it’s a local network
within an intranet at a business, your home, or a massive network such as the Internet.
Every website you visit on the Internet uses a unique IP address, too. But luckily for
that, we can use simple names like Microsoft.com using DNS.
Why would you want to know your IP address, though? We live in a world where we are
surrounded by multiple devices that need to talk to each other. Whether connecting two
computers in a peer-to-peer fashion for sharing resources or accessing another
device remotely, if you need to troubleshoot devices on a network, knowing your IP
Address can help a lot.
Go to Settings > Network & Internet. Then select either Wi-Fi or Ethernet (depending
on how the device connects). In this example, I’m connected to Ethernet.
Then select the Ethernet Connected icon. Scroll down to the Properties section, and
you’ll see your IPV4 address information.
Finding your Wi-Fi IP address is a bit different. You still go to Settings > Network &
Internet, but then select Advanced options. Then scroll down to the Properties section
to see the IP address of the device.
Find an IP Address Using the Command Prompt
Hit the Windows key on your keyboard and type: cmd, and select the “Run as Admin”
option from the menu.
Now type: ipconfig, then press the Enter key.
Also, if you have several devices on your home network, read our article on how to find
the IP of all connected devices on your network the easy way.
