It will occasionally also be used for a bit of office and other random shit (through remote desktop). Ideally it would be two machines but I don't really have the space for that.

It sounds like you should look at virtualisation. Your desktop OS does not need to dictate your NAS OS.

UnRAID is probably the easiest way to do this, a lot less hassle than Proxmox or ESXi.

Unless you want actual RAID?

Well the other reason I favour Windows is I know it well.

I've run various other stuff but it always involves a lot of pissing about with permissions and things.

What would the benefit of running unraid and Virtual machines?

Ability to use an appropriate OS for the different server and desktop use cases.

It sounds like you mean Windows 10, which is not designed to run headless 24/7. How will you handle updates which require user input and restarts?

I guess you can run Plex as a service though. And I may be overthinking your '24/7'... ;-)
