Yes, that is what I have now before trying zfs raidz-1
I have Win7 and FreeBSD, I don't know if win10 boots the same as Win7
so can try this it you want to
Boot FreeBSD then as root:
boot0cfg -B ad0
That will overwrite the boot loader with boot0 then when you reboot you
will get a boot menu that has
F1 Win
F2 Win
F3 FreeBSD
You can then choose which one you want to boot
