How to install QNAP QXG-10G1T on Windows 10

The QNAP QXG-10G1T Single-port (10Gbase-T) 10GbE network expansion card is a cost effective option to introduce 10GbE network speeds to a Windows PC. Unfortunately the provided documentation in box and on QNAP’s support site does not detail how to install the card on a Windows PC.

The solution to this is that various product announcements and QNAP’s own shop make minor mention of the cards controller chip. The card uses the “Aquantia AQtion AQC107 NIC”. Thus using this information you can download the driver package directly from AQuantia here : QNAP QXG-10G1T Drivers
