NIC teaming in any version of Windows 10

Problem:

If you run a busy Windows 10 machine at home, such as a lab or Plex server and have two NICs you may want to team them to get more bandwidth and stop applications from choking.

Solution:

You will need at least one Intel NIC for this to work.  If you have one download the 12.15.31.4 driver from here.  Once installed go to the adapter’s properties and select the Teaming tab.
