Checking connection speed/mode

Hello all,

Is there any way that I can check my network connection speed and mode from windows?

I have a workgroup switch that has my secondary computer and the office scanner connected to the main switch.  On the workgroup
switch, it is not showing Full-Duplex between it and the main switch (but it is showing full between it and the scanner and my
secondary computer).  I want to check my main computer from Windows to see if it has a Full-Duplex connection to the main switch.
I'm trying to figure out if the workgroup switch not having a Full-Duplex connection to the main switch is because of the workgroup
switch, because the main switch is programmed that way, or if it just our cabling in this building.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly

Dunno about duplex (your network card utility software might show that) but
on my PC when I right-click a network connection and select Status I get the
speed.
