No win home drivers, use server ed binary

Working at 10gig full duplex in my win 10 home pc,Working at 10gig full duplex in my truenas boxI could not locate win 10 drivers,So i unpacked the installer from win server edition, and used the binary to install directly,It totally works.I get an occasional network drop and have to reboot both machines,So 4 start instead of 5

so I'm 100% satisfied.

Bought this when I discovered that my Dell R210 II wasn't working with the Chelsio T520-CR - the system wouldn't boot with that card. So I bought this and it was recognized and able to be configured in pfsense opnsense without any additional steps.I have not been able to fully test the performance, but was able to achieve 2Gbit both ways with ease, so I'm 100% satisfied.

Great NIC, well supported.

Intel makes a great NIC, with good support across pretty much every common OS. The X710 is no exception; I'd choose this NIC over a Broadcom any day, even if it's a bit more expensive. Power consumption is nice and low too, especially when using DAC instead of fiber.
