windows for home/other/internet and connectivity

Hi dete akasia,

You don’t usually need to manually edit the IPv6 address on your PC unless you’re setting up a very specific network scenario. By default, Windows will automatically assign an IPv6 address if your router or ISP supports it.

If you do need to set a static IPv6 address, the steps are:

• Open Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
• Right‑click your active network adapter and select Properties.
• Highlight “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” and click Properties.
• Choose “Use the following IPv6 address” and enter the address, subnet prefix length (usually 64), and default gateway provided by your network administrator.
• Under DNS, enter the IPv6 DNS servers (for example, Google’s are 2001:4860:4860::8888 and ::8844).

If you’re not sure what values to enter, I’d recommend checking with your ISP or network admin, since incorrect entries can break connectivity. For most home or small business setups, leaving IPv6 on automatic is the safest option.

I hope this helps make the process clearer. If this explanation is useful, please hit “accept answer”
