Is it possible to configure teaming with VF NIC of X550 on Windows 10?

[Kuni]

I tried to configure teaming with two VFs on Windows 10 Pro VM by using Proset. But Proset shows that there is no NIC which can support teaming capability. I am using teaming on VM host machine to make redundant network pass. It is work well. However on the machine, there is windows 10 pro VM with using VF NIC. I can enable two VFs for the two redundant PF's passes. But can not configure teaming on VM. I could configure teaming on Linux VM (Ubuntu).  Is there any way to cofigure teaming on windows 10 VM with X550 VFs?

Sorry for late response.  I tried your suggested method. But both did not work well. Is it really work with virtual function driver?  In case of 1st method, "Get-IntelNetAdapter" did not show any adapter. In case of 2nd method,  there were error message means that specified network adapters were not found. (I specified "Intel(R) X550 Virtual Function" and "Intel(R) Virtual Function #2").
