Would something like ESXi allow me to run openmanage and raid configuration stuff AND allow me to plop my windows 10 install down on top of that for daily use?

What are my best options for something that offers more compatibility or flexibility? For example, say I wanted to upgrade all the perc 6/i raid disks to larger ones without lots of headaches. It's generally OK for what I'm doing (file storage, remote access, virtualbox nonsense, etc), but it seems limited in what kind of management software I can install because it's not a supported server OS.
