The quickest way to find your DNS server address on Windows is to:

Open the Command Prompt by clicking ‘Start Menu’.
Type cmd and press ‘Enter’.
Type nslookup google.com and press ‘Enter’.
You’ll see results that look like these:
Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 2a00:1450:4009:815::200e
142.250.178.14
The line starting “Addresses” will show your DNS server address. In the example above, it’s 8.8.8.8.
