Thanks so much for your help! I appreciate the clarifications!

I just learned about UNRAID. It sounds awesome if it's what I think it is, but I have some basic questions to decide if it's the right tool for me. I have a Windows 2016 home server, does UNRAID replace Windows as the Host OS and then I can run Windows as a VM within UNRAID? I assume I can run any number of VMs alongside one another (hardware permitting) and they can be Windows, any flavor of *nix, or other OS? Can I create a partition that is purely a NAS alongside the other OSs? How easy is it to setup a new VM in UNRAID? Is it similar to setting up a VM in Hyper-V or VirtualBox? Or does it require me to repartition drives every time I want to set up a new VM? Can I configure how VMs startup individually when the UNRAID host starts? and can I configure individual USB devices to attach to each VM at startup? Can I dual-boot UNRAID alongside my current Windows server 2016 install while I trial the UNRAID OS? If I choose to use UNRAID, I assume I could wipe the Windows partition and return the free space back to UNRAID? Does UNRAID offer any tools for migrating VMs from another system?
