Since Microsoft does not provide support for it, it's the manufacturer's job to provide driver support for network card teaming: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/254101
See the manual of your current NICs if they support teaming and what do you need to activate it.

The Broadcom config utility on Windows usually supports bonding/trunking.
Be sure to set up the corresponding ports on the switch as well.
Most switches do not support putting one traffic flow on both ports, so don't expect superfast 2Gb FTP/fileserver to/from a single client; but multiple clients should be able to use the 2Gb aggregate (if the server can handle it).
