If you have windows 10 Pro you can install it on a dual socket motherboard. The biggest problem you will have is getting a driver for the RAID controller. You will have to slipstream that onto your installation media.

Yes I have windows 10 pro should I just install it via USB media creation tool or is they a special way and what do you mean by "installation media" if I google the drivers for the raid kit wouldn't I just be able to download the latest version

But you need to merge them into the installation media so that the installer can find them during initialization, load them and then the disks will show up as something to install onto.
