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.

It's not ZFS, but let's check this with btrfs https://github.com/maharmstone/quibble

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

WinBtrfs – an open-source btrfs driver for Windows
Heads up, installing both WinBTRFS and OpenZFS on Windows may have problems:
"Win OpenZFS driver and WinBtrfs driver dont play well with each other"

OpenZFS 2.2: Block Cloning, Linux Containers, BLAKE3
I tried it a few months ago and ReFS ate my data. No indication of why in event logs or SMART data. It had IsPowerProtected set because I have a UPS and I had a unclean restart, I would expect it to lose data, but not to corrupt the filesystem metadata. I had a backup of the data but wanted some recent changes. Refsutil (the official Microsoft tool) didn't help because it has not been updated for the newest ReFS version. I couldn't read most files because I had integrity enable and files failed the check. Hetman's Data Recovery was able to recover most of the data. In later testing I found out that IsPowerProtected is just very unsafe. I have since put some time into testing and sometimes fixing https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs , it is not ready for use yet, but it is making great progress.

Is there a mount backup vdev Windows tutorial
Windows lacks support in the same sense that Linux lacks support; there are external projects implementing it for both, though I believe the Windows port is less polished. (Some people are running it in production, though...)

Windows on Btrfs
This is really cool and speaks to the modularity of the Windows file system stack. I love projects that customize Windows (working against its closed-source nature).
There’s an OpenZFA port to Windows[0]. I wonder if my hopes of having ZFS on Windows (including the boot drive, because I would love to be able to snapshot and rollback) would actually be possible.

External Harddrive from NAS to Windows?
*cough* it can, but... no idea how well it works but it seems a bit hacky.

External Harddrive from Truenas to Windows?
If you have not used it, maybe the native ZFS port for windows could be an easier solution.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing quibble and openzfs you can also consider the following projects:
