Hyper-v node add network card

Question

Hello,

I need to add network card on my hyper-v cluster nodes 2*10Gbs to replace 4*1Gbs.
Netword card with 4*1Gbs is ethernet cable wereas 2*10Gbs is with fiber channel.
On my cluster network 4*1Gbs was dedicated for client communication.
Switch embeded team is used for differents network trafic.

I would like to know what steps I need to do :

1-Install physically network card
2-Install driver
3-Remove 4 NIC 1Gbs from the switch embeded teaming and add the 2 NIC 10Gbs

There is something more to do because 2 things changes :
ethernet -> fiber channel (Do I need to use fibre channel virtual switch ?)
1Gb -> 10 Gbs

Thanks for your help

From Cluster network aspect, the Ethernet network and FC network are the same, just ensure the network communication well.
