Hi there!
For Microsoft Windows OS from Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, the recommendation is to always use VMXNET3 and VMware Tools installed (This last part is really important for the OS to identify the vNIC).
Please note page 17 of vSphere 6.7 guide to MSCS: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-671-setup-mscs.pdf
"Consider using the VMXNET3 paravirtualized NIC. VMXNET 3 is the latest generation of paravirtualized NICs designed for performance. It offers several advanced features including multiqueue support, Receive Side Scaling, IPv4/IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery."
Regards!
