To do this we can go to:

How to change the MTU over Windows Vista/7

To do this we’ll need to open a terminal, to do this I recommend to hit WindowsKey+R and write cmd and hit intro.

After this trivial step we’ll need to see our interfaces and their MTU:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

To know the max size we can assign to our MTU we can try with:
ping www.REFERENCEWEB.com -f -l SIZE

And finally to set the MTU that we need we can execute:
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "YOUR INTERFACE NAME" mtu=SIZE store=persistent
