How to configure a VLAN on Windows 8.1

Question

Basically there is a media converter installed at my customer and from this media converter there is an UTP cable to my network adapter. This circuit is delivered to me with a VLAN(tagged) and to test it I need to set a VLAN in my network adapter or find another similar solution.

Do you guys know how to set that?

Thank you, it seems that my adapter does not allow me to tag a VLAN. Is there another way to configure? Using a software or something like this? – Thiago Gabriel Leite Ferreira May 17 '17 at 03:20
Check for newer drivers for your NIC, or it may be unsupported on your hardware. – Cory Knutson May 17 '17 at 03:27
Do you need only a "test"? A one-shot check, I mean? Or it has to be left connected, for production purposes? – Damiano Verzulli May 17 '17 at 05:25
There is another way indeed. It is to use Hyper-V virtual switch which can be configured to request VLAN tagging of outgoing traffic. – batistuta09 May 19 '17 at 13:55
