After losing all my data (6 TB)..
It is possible to run a fork of ZFS on Windows. For that you will want https://openzfsonwindows.org/. However, I have no idea of the integrity of the project, or, whether it is stock ZFS but with windows drivers or not. It also likely has some tradeoffs that I cannot speak too. I would be dubious of using it without playing around with it a lot first.

OpenZFS on Windows homepage and the releases. I have never used it, just seen some demo on one of the ZFS conference videos.

You might like to ask in the forum that's linked from https://openzfsonwindows.org/; there are a few Windows-related posts.
apparently this is a thing but ymmv.

Reliability of external hard drive?
So ZFS is my cheap RAID option. Idk how much windows support there is if people are in windows, there's the windows port but idk what kind of issues they currently have. Haven't tried it, I live in linux.

WinBtrfs – an open-source btrfs driver for Windows
Not in its own. You also need a different boot loader. The author has an implementation called Quibble [0] that also supports btrfs.

Anyone using openzfs on Windows on a daily basis? Can ZVOLs be used to back WSL?
A custom bootloader for windows that works for WinBTRFS and others may eventually allow booting on mostly/entirely ZFS instead of symlinking user folders to a dataset or whatever. If ZFS isn’t ready yet, I’ll just try WinBTRFS instead.

Installing windows on BTRFS
It is technically possible, but you'll need to use an alternate boot loader for that: https://github.com/maharmstone/quibble
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ZFSin and quibble you can also consider the following projects:
zfsbootmenu - ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption
