How does Windows 10 handle manual & automatic switching between Internet
WiFi & Ethernet connections?
Does it automatically switch based on the best signal strength?
Or does it automatically switch based on some test speed?
If I want to manually change from one connection to the other, how do I do
that?

My two questions are
1. How does Windows automatically decide which to use?
2. How do I manually switch from one to the other?
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.
