  • How To Edit Hosts File in Windows 10.
    Modifying your hosts file enables you to override the domain name system (DNS) for a domain on a specific machine. DNS management is useful when you want to test your site without the test link prior to going live with SSL, verify that an alias site works prior to DNS changes, and for other DNS-related reasons.
    Modifying your hosts file causes your local machine to look directly at the Internet Protocol (IP) address that you specify
    This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

      @@sushiwithagun same thing just create it on desktop, copy paste whatever text you need into it, then drag it from desktop into the directory it's supposed to be in as shown in this video. Win10 won't let you edit it.

    Imagine struggling with trying to get permissions to edit the file, when all you have to do is just move it to a space where you do have permissions, and then just moving it back. Like. What.

    For those with administrator permission issues:
    Step 1: Right click on the hosts file and select properties
    Step 2: Go to Security
    Step 3: Click on edit Permissions
    Step 4: Allow users to have Full Control
    Step 5: Apply
    Now you will be able to save the file!
