One of the changes to Windows 10 update 1903 has made it easier to change your DNS or IP address. Previously it was necessary to navigate Network and sharing centre then take several more steps to enable a change to your DNS or IP settings. Whilst this method still works OK Microsoft have with the latest update, 1903, added another easier way to edit your IP and or DNS connection.

To do so click your start menu, then Settings, Network and Internet.
