   I am not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish. What you are   
   asking sort of makes sense if you have a laptop that you take different   
   places.   
      
   On my desktop computer I have both Ethernet and wireless connections. As   
   stated Windows 10 picks the fastest connections.   
      
   The easiest way to change the connections manually is:   
      
   Right click the MSIcon on the lower left of the tool bar;   
      
   Click Network Connections;   
      
   click Changed Adapters Options;   
      
   Enable which ever adapter you wish to use.   
      
   In three click you can change your adapter.
