Aurora R16, possible to upgrade to 10Gbe?
Hi. Is it possible to upgrade the built on 2.5 network adapter that’s on the motherboard with a 10gb one? The slot on the motherboard doesn’t have access because the graphic card is in the way. Any suggestions?

No, since the Ethernet chip is soldered on -- it's not removeable.
There are 10G Ethernet cards that fit into standard PCIe slots -- if your system has one of the two still open, that's an option.

If you do not have any PCI-e slots available, you could use the second 2280 M2 slot to attach a 10 Gbps controller.

One word of caution: this is not a regular setup and while it should work, it has not been validated by Dell so your mileage may vary.

What about using a USB-c 10gb adapter?
