Devices based on the following do not support Microsoft Windows or Windows Server:
Intel® Ethernet Connection E822-C
Intel® Ethernet Connection E822-L
Microsoft Windows 32-bit operating systems are only supported on Intel 1Gbps Ethernet Adapters.
Some older Intel Ethernet adapters do not have full software support for the most recent versions of Microsoft Windows. Many older Intel Ethernet adapters have base drivers supplied by Microsoft Windows.
In Microsoft Windows Server 2025, all devices based on the Intel Ethernet 710 Series are reported with generic, 2-part device IDs and branding strings, and will be configured as generic devices with no custom default settings. This change resolves an issue seen when deploying network intent roles using the Network ATC scripts in Windows Server 2025 and Azure Stack HCI.
