Works great. Review: Works with older Windows legacy operating systems! - I bought this Adapter for a unique application I have a server that runs windows 2003 server on a Pentium 3 machine. Because of the ancient software running on a PC with only PCIe busses I could not get a network card to work on newer hardware with older architecture. THIS CARD WORKED PERFECT! When I read the product packaging it said Win 10 & later as minimum requirement. When I plugged it in, it did not work. Windows Server 2003 did not see the card. I went to Plugable's support page & found the correct driver, loaded it in & I was up & running. Now I am able to connect to all the network equipment internet & printers.
