I have a windows 10 PC. There is an onboard motherboard NIC and an installed PCIe card NIC. I have a consumer grade home router serving as DHCP server, switch, modem etc.

If I connect the PC to to the router using both NICs, without any other configuration, what will happen?

I ask because one NIC is a 10Gbps card and the router has one 10Gbps port, but this NIC driver has an issue that causes it to throttle upload speed to almost nothing. So I would like to use the other NIC for uploads but the faster one for downloads. Yes, I do have a 10Gpbs internet connection which actually provides a consistent > 4Gbps up and down. Of course the 10Gbps NIC works fine in ubuntu!

More or less nothing will happen by default. It will get a second IP via DHCP, but the default gateway, metric and so on will more less cause all the traffic to cross the primary/first interface.

If you were running Windows Server I would suggest creating a team, but as far as I know that isn't available on Windows 10.
