Quad port NIC

Hello All! I have a NAS with a quad port nic. I wanted to see if I added a quad port nic to my desktop and set up the proper aggregation if I could get some faster file transfer speeds. My desktop is a Maximus VIII hero, 6700k. I tried getting an intel pro 1000 pt off of ebay but the desktop did not even see the device in device manager. I tried different PCIE ports with no luck. The card definantly was not showing up at all, not just with the wrong driver. Not sure wheather the card was bad or the PT is just completely invisible to what I have. Basically what I am asking is does anyone have a better recomendation for a nic than the one I tried, or am I even barking up the right tree with what I am trying to accomplish.

Has anyone had experience with this and windows 10? Also with link aggregation for faster transfer speeds?
