    A late update to this.

     

    Just updated my desktop to Windows 10 (just before the free upgrade cut-off) - had a few issues post upgrade (network iffy - needed to put in IP/DNS manually) and USB3 chipset drivers - but after setting jump frames to 9K - the desktop now gets the same performance as the laptop i.e. ~50MB/s

     

    So likely a OS/network driver type issue.

What MTU sizes are set up on the NAS and the two PCs?  (Look at the "Jumbo Packet" setting on the PCs?)

        What happens if you disable the leaf adapter on the desktop?

         

        Also, it might be worth testing w/o jumbo frames, and see how the numbers compare.
