How to install Windows Server on a dynamic disk?

There is a sistemnik - a kind of server. (do not scold, everyone has different finances and needs) A good mother, a tolerable percentage, 16 gigabytes of memory and a couple of terabyte screws. The domain controller will spin there. The motherboard supports 0, 1, 5, 10 RAID levels (well, this one, whatever it is, fake raid or whoever calls it). It is not hunting with him. I thought, why not put the axis on dynamic risks in the mirroring mode - soft RAID 1. And, since I have never done this, the question arose - how is it done anyway? Googled a little, everywhere there are only questions - what kind of animal is this, and an explanation of how to convert from basic to dynamic or vice versa. And nowhere is there a word about how to install it. If I correctly imagine the algorithm of actions, then it is like this:

  1. Before installation, we convert the disks to dynamic.
  2. We create the necessary sections on them.
  3. Installing Windows.

This is all by analogy with the same mdadm. But I don't know how things are going. Please help. Thanks

In my opinion, the system disk cannot be dynamic.
