Windows Server 2012 brought with it NIC teaming of adapters by different manufacturers.
I mean teaming using 1 NIC from say Intel and the other from Realtek. It has been possible to do teaming or bonding at the driver level, but what was introduced in Windows Server 2012 is at the operating system level. I appreciate Linux has been doing this for years :-)
It didn't make it onto Windows 8/8.1. I've seen some article where people reported it was working on Windows 10 Preview but no longer working.
Is NIC Teaming supported on Windows 10 Pro? Or another edition.
NIC teaming has been possible in Windows since at least Windows XP. What exactly did you read where? – qasdfdsaq – 2015-08-12T10:18:53.153
@qasdfdsaq at a driver level yes, but you'd need adapters of the same model. I don't mean to say they support a pair of realteks, or a pair of intels. I mean it supports teaming using 1 Intel and 1 Realtek. If you have a suggestion of how I may more clearly define this then please let me know. – albal – 2015-08-12T10:22:24.520
Realtek is pretty terrible for that. Intel had driver support in windows 8 for my card but you're really better off with a second intel, even if you have 'support'. I never quite got it working with a realtek – Journeyman Geek – 2015-08-12T12:33:27.033
