Its a bit nonstandard becasue normally you owould have a router atteched to the switch that acts as the DHCP server.
It would be better to put the Windows box and the second.NIC on fixed addresses in th e192.168.1.X range as 20.20 will be routable to the internet where 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are not
You probably need fixed IPs unless you have the DHCP service on your windows enabled

Many thanks rodw,

(EDIT - just watched a bit of the vid - 172.16.x.x)

Any other fixed address ranges worth considering?  If I use the 192.168 range then some Adobe software on my laptop stops working (cloud sync, for example) as the software always defaults to the wired connection on the 192.168 range (no internet) - the only way I can get around this is to give the wired connection a non standard range IP and then the Adobe software looks elsewhere (in my case it switches to my phones wifi hotspot which provides an auto DHCP 192.168 address).

well just use 172.16.1.x

Don't forget the net mask  of 255.255.255.0 can be used so 
the 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x .... are kept separate from each other
